Real need to sell to clear huge Bernabeu debt.
Arsenal have been alerted to the availability of world class Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, report the Express, but they will face stern competition from Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United if they want to secure the signing of the French international centre forward.

Benzema has a fine goalscoring record at the Bernabeu, but with the debt at the club growing, the report suggests that the club are willing to listen to offers for Benzema, as well as other first team stars, in an attempt to alleviate the pressure in the short term.
Despite this, however, they are unlikely to sell Benzema on the cheap, whilst any buying club would have to put their money where their mouth is and match the £150,000 per week package that Benzema currently takes home in La Liga.
