Olympique Lyonnais teenager Karim Benzema is one of the hottest properties in Europe these days. The 20-year old has been in fascinating form this season for the French giants and has scored goals for fun and is a target for several top European clubs.

Catalan sports daily Sport has now thrown the name of FC Barcelona into the hat. The paper claims that Barca would like to import the player in the summer although there's doubt on whether the Blaugrana can afford to depart with sme 50 million euros that Lyon want for the player.

Premiership outfits Manchester United have already made their interest clear in the player but it is believed that clawing the plaayer away from Stade Gerland is going to be anything but easy. Benzema has always maintained that although he is eager to move to a bigger club in the future, for the moment he is happy at Lyon.
