Hi all, Jonathan Hope here. Yes I'm agent who is working on the Benzema deal. I know by logging on here I'm setting myself up for a bit of a battering. Anyways the deal is at discussion stages as reported by sky. The player WILL not sign for Man U regardless because of previous talks and to be fair I agree fully with his intentions and motives. I read people saying that why would he leave Real for City! Every player wants to play in the EPL at some stage apart from a few. I personally can say that the only way the deal won't go through is if Karim wishes to see out his contract at Real. But Manchester City is the club he will move to in agreed terms when the time comes. Whether now or later. I think he would be a fantastic addition to the current squad. The paperwork is all complete and it's now at the point get the Euro's out the way and see what happens. I have read so many different reports from sites which alter words and just came on here to set the record straight. Thanks for your time to read this post and fingers crossed we can all agree terms and get things moving. I intend to keep you guys posted and again thanks for welcoming me on to your forum. I can be followed on twitter @milleniumsoccer should anyone be interested. Thanks guys. JH
