OFFICIAL. Lyon forward joins Real Madrid

Olympique Lyon forward joins Real Madrid. Forward returns to Real Madrid for €33, meaning Benzema will have to fight for his place, a lot more then before. Sevilla president Jose Castro said on Tuesday: “We are an ambitious club and we try to make ambitious signings. “Madrid had a first option and they have told us they will execute it. “But the player has not told us anything and we are waiting for him to respond because he told us a thousand and one times that he wanted to play for Sevilla.” Mariano has signed a five-year deal with Madrid and he will be presented to the club’s fans at the Santiago Bernabeu on Friday
