Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas claims Sir Alex Ferguson has enquired about Karim Benzema and Hatem Ben Arfa, and all this before this week’s Champions League clash between Man Utd and Lyon.He (Sir Alex) spoke to Lyon last week.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas said: “I spoke to Sir Alex. I told him that Benzema and Ben Arfa will not leave in the next two years. We want to build our future on them.
“If he wants to exchange Cristiano Ronaldo for Ben Arfa we could talk about it but they would have to also give us a bit of money.”
But Aulas’ remarks will not put off Fergie, who spoke to the Lyon president before Saturday’s game with Sochaux.
The pair are also summer targets for Arsenal and Chelsea.
Interesting to see Sir Alex still so bullish in the transfer market and the duo would definitely be a welcome addition to the already superb team, imagine if you will for a moment is this deal does go through, we would see something like this:
Benzima - Rooney - Tevez - Ronaldo - Nani - Ben Arfa - Anderson
Amazing!
But Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is in no mood to sell the youngsters in the near future, but in the end of the day..Money talks!

These two players will be a greater addition to the squad because they are still young and play some good football.I would be delighted to see them at Old Trafford next season.
