Liverpool Transfers: 10 Dream Alternatives To Loic Remy

2. Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)

Real Madrid's Karim Benzema is effectively the finished article up front, and if Liverpool could entice him away from the Bernabeu they would likely need to pay in excess of £30 million for the French striker. However, with the European champions chasing the signature of long term target Radamel Falcao this summer, Benzema could end up being free to leave Los Blancos to raise funds. Carlo Ancelotti may need to accept the sale of Benzema if he is to sign the Colombian striker, especially given his side have signed Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez for close to £100 million so far in this transfer window. Liverpool could benefit from that, and should be able to put up the money to buy the former Lyon star - who, by the way, is still only 26. (Seems like he's been around forever, right?) Benzema has shrugged off his excess weight and poor form to return to his status of being one of the most deadly strikers in Europe, and he would undoubtedly be a hit in the Premier League if he was to end up making the move from Spain. A total of 23 goals in all competitions last season didn't quite compare to Luis Suarez, but having kept Loic Remy out of the French starting line up at the World Cup he would be very much a worthwhile signing.
