Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has revealed that there was no time he was close to making a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu despite the many reports in the media.
You would recall that in the last three summer transfer windows, there had been rumours from various angles claiming that the Frenchman was close to making a switch to Arsenal but from what the star said in a recent interview, all those were lies.
Quizzed if he had considered leaving Real for Arsenal, he responded: "Never."
"I laugh about it with my brother and my friends. We wait for the media to come out with these rumours.
"In my opinion, I think that Real and Barca are the pinnacle in football. Why would I leave?
"I'm a starter for the best club in the world. I am happy; it's that simple," he told Journal du Dimanche.
