Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona is no longer interested in Olympique Lyon forward and French international Karim Benzema (21).
Although Barcelona would have made last summer a bid of 45 million euro° for the French striker, the latest scouting reports on Benzema, the fact that he has said to be a Real Madrid fan and the transfer fee Lyon is asking have caused Benzema to drop from the target list.
Barcelona's first option is at this moment to continue with Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o (27). If the Cameroonian player would decide not to renew his contract, Valencia forward and Spanish international David Villa (27) would be the number one candidate to replace him.
