The French Football Federation (FFF) will suspend the player Karim Benzema from Real Madrid, accused in a case of alleged sex video blackmail with his French team-mate Mathieu Valbuena , It reveals today the local press.
The president of the FFF, Noel Le Graet, will announce next Thursday at the press conference following the Executive Committee of the organization press, indicate the rotating "L'Equipe" and "Le Parisien".
The latter indicates that it will be a provisional suspension until the French justice will clarify the level of involvement in the Madrid striker alleged blackmail Valbuena.
After having questioned last November 5th, the judge investigating the case he was charged with "complicity in attempted blackmail" and "participation in a criminal association" and imposed as a precautionary measure the inability to contact the other defendants - the blackmailer - and the alleged victim, Valbuena.
That decision makes it impossible for coach Didier Deschamps , convene both time and complicating Benzema.
So far, the FFF had shown lukewarm support to the Real Madrid player, relying on the presumption of innocence.
But last week, after the daily "Le Monde" published an interview in which Valbuena showed very hard with Benzema, Le Graet attitude seems to have changed.
First, they decided to stand as a civil party in the case to have access to the file and, according to "L'Equipe" and "Le Parisien" will now go a step further.
A few months after the start of the European Championship, where France will host and one of the favorites, the FFF seems to rule out any options to destabilise the group Deschamps.
In addition, Le Graet is subject to political pressures. The Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, was in favor of the selection rule to all players that were not copies, while Sports Minister Patrick Kanner, asked not directly call any player accused.
As week after week Karim Benzema appears increasingly concerned by Valbuena case, the Real Madrid could already consider his replacement.
Indeed, its president Florentino Perez has even, the newspaper AS, mentioned that if the French guilt in this case, it could simply be dismissed. Dirty story for the Madrid striker who also saw his future selection fade gradually.
Who could therefore succeed the head of the attack on the Casa Blanca in case of premature departure of Karim Benzema? Here are four solutions that could appeal to fans of Real.
Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
Argentine striker, always in small Madrid papers, would be a luxury rookie for Real Madrid. Only a few problems arise, Manchester City is not the seller and could easily increase the salary "Kun" if desired. In addition, the Citizen is a former Colchoneros which is none other than the ultimate rival Madrid in the capital.
Álvaro Morata (Juventus)
Child of Cantera, the training center of Real Madrid, Morata may have been sold too quickly by the leaders Madrid. Transferred to Juventus because of his lack of playing time, he was, however, only the third in the hierarchy behind Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente but he manage to win up quickly eliminate him even his old Team semifinals of the Champions League last year.
Radamel Falcao (Chelsea)
Very close to the Real Madrid two seasons ago, the Colombian on loan from AS Monaco inexorably seeks to get rid of, is only a shadow of himself despite the will of Jose Mourinho to revive it. Its coast has greatly lowered, the people of Madrid could cheaply, making the bet to wake the player he was before he ruptured cruciate ligaments.
Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
The Pole is surely the current best center forward in the world (Luis Suarez), it is also the top scorer in 2015 behind the two giants Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. However, Bayern Munich seller is not either and the amount requested for the Bavarian attacker could exceed comprehension.
Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)
This is surely the most likely of all came. Florentino Pérez would have added the Englishman in his small papers a few weeks ago and we even speak of a transfer this winter. An offer of 50 million euros is quite the ropes of Real Madrid and Leicester City should convince that would be enough to do to find a replacement.
Or :
Harry Kane: The Tottenham striker is only 22 and has a bright future ahead. The difficulties experienced his club to be part of top could push it a start.
Edinson Cavani: Although with the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimović, the Uruguayan striker should be the number one in the Paris Saint-Germain, a start is not however be excluded, especially if the transaction is an exchange between Benzema and Cavani.
Gonzalo Higuaín: Old Madrid, it could choose to return to the club to dream again in the Champions League. Only flat, his release clause would be to the tune of 94.7 million euros.
