Karim Benzema head off on his summer holidays

 

Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema head off on his summer holidays after helping his side 11th European Cup win.

The Frenchman started up front for Los Blancos against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday night.

The 28-year-old, who moved to Madrid from Lyon in 2009 – has been heavily linked with a move to the English Premier League amid growing uncertainty surrounding his future at the Bernabeu Stadium.

The Gunners have been regularly linked with the striker over the past few weeks as Arsene Wenger looks to strengthen his attacking options.

Meanwhile, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is desperate to bring the Madrid superstar to Old Trafford after having worked with him in the Spanish capital.

But Benzema posted an Instagram photo as he got into his airplane to go on holiday on Sunday.
