The Spanish giants may allow the 27-year-old to sign for the Gunners, if the north London club offer club record £45m fee for the Frenchman.
Benzema joined Madrid from Lyon in 2009 and has scored 15 goals in 29 appearances last season.
Here is how Twitter reacts to the news that the French striker is reportedly closing in on a move to FA Cup Champions.

If you join Arsenal this summer @Benzema, France will win the Euro’s next summer. Ask @MesutOzil1088 and @Alexis_Sanchez.
