Karim Benzema Has 'No Intention' of Real Madrid Exit, Says Agent

Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema is content with life at the Santiago Bernabeu and is not looking for a new challenge, according to his representative.

Sky Sports News' Bryan Swanson relayed part of a conversation with the player's agent, noting Arsenal as a team said to hold an interest in the forward:

While he only recently agreed a new contract with the Spanish and European champions, the Frenchman has been criticised for some of his displays in recent weeks.

In the clash with Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, the 29-year-old missed a number of chances, including a close-range header that was stopped by Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
