I've read that Morata has rejected the possibility of going to Dortmund because he doesn't want to be treated as bait, do you know if that's true? Wouldn't surprise me tbh.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of Alvaro Morata saying anything about Dortmund and "bait" but Juventus have said they want him to stay - but they are aware that they will need to work with Real Madrid about the "buy back" clause being extended.}

Thank you so much for the update, appreciate it.
My point is that surely fans would want see a big attacking player coming if they were to lose Benzema? Not necessarily a like-for-like replacement, more in terms of status.
And as far as Arsenal are concerned, I don't know what to believe anymore because there are some suggestions that personal terms are already sorted and now we're only waiting on Real and what they want to do.
{Ed001's Note - that is why Madrid want to sell, to buy players, not necessarily attackers though. The fans there are not so much the issue, it is the worldwide fans that affect the merchandising. James is not the biggest name in Spain, but around the world he is the face of Pepsi etc. That is what Perez considers, rather than what the Madrid fans want.}

Surely they need to secure a replacement for Benzema before selling him? Any idea who they have in mind? And is Arsenal a realistic destination for Karim?
{Ed001's Note - why would they need to replace him when Ronaldo is likely to play that role up top due to his fitness concerns? Ronaldo would replace him. They don't need to replace Ronaldo as they have plenty of players to play that role. So Benzema is surplus, though reluctantly surplus.
Arsene likes Benzema a lot, if a deal can be done, then yes he would want to take him. The issue is the wages, Arsenal will not pay him what he earns at Madrid. So it is not an easy deal to make happen, so I wouldn't hold my breath about him ending up there. Personally I think Benzema would turn them into true title contenders, even favourites.}
