All reports are just speculation."
Karim Djaziri, the agent of Benzema, rejected the possibily that the Frenchman would join Barcelona this summer and says the player still has to make progress: "Benzema won't leave Lyon this summer, that's a sure fact. Next year he could go, but this season he stays with Lyon."
Catalan sports paper Sport nevertheless insists and claims that the price for Benzema would be Eto'o plus 10 million euro°. The salary of Eto'o would be the main obstacle for the deal.
