On Friday evening, unexpected news spread about Karim Benzema's intentions to move to AC Milan.
Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported that K. Benzema's representatives had talks with AC Milan, and the player himself also indicated to the team's coach Gennaro Gattuso that he would be willing to join them.
As it was to be expected, K. Benzema did not give any consent to either G. Gattuso or AC Milan.
The 30-year-old Frenchman wrote on his Instagram account that these are false news, and Di Marzio himself should think about finding another job.
"You are the one who needs to find a new job. #Liar," K. Benzema said about the journalist.
Soon after, Di Marzio reacted to these comments and stated that Ludovicas Fattizzo (one of AC Milan's negotiators) told him that he had met with K. Benzema's representatives, but cannot disclose further details.
The footballer rushed to deny this information: "Di Marzio is a lying clown."
