Lyon chief Juninho admits he has plans to bring Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema back to the club.

Juninho wants Benzema to end his career back with his former club.

He explained, "My wish is to propose to Karim to finish his career in Lyon.

"He is from here, he feels from here. Why not make an economic effort between both parties to make it happen? We cannot offer the same salary as Real Madrid , but we will wait for the right moment.

"I did it. I lowered my salary to play with Vasco at the end of my career. With Karim it can happen too, we just have to talk.

"We exchanged messages when I was in Brazil. I felt he would like to come. He has a lot of respect for the club. He often goes to the physical therapist Abdel, in Lyon too.

"I want him to come and play with us for two years, and then train some youngsters. Karim may be a leader we need. I dream that he will finish his career here in Lyon, his home."
