Benzema was sidelined with injury and despite his return to Real's practice on Monday reports of a potential move to Arsenal just won't stop.
Recent outrageous tweets from an Italian journalist suggest the striker is on the verge of being presented by the Gunners.
Emanuele Giulianelli has stated Benzema will have his medical on Monday afternoon and be unveiled as an Arsenal player soon afterwards.
However, Benzema's agent Karim Djaziri has rubbished such talk, insisting he is 1 000% sure his client will remain at Bernabeu.
"Karim is very happy at Real Madrid and he will be a Real Madrid player by the end of this transfer window, 1 000%. Karim is not looking to move anywhere this summer," he told Sky Sports.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger also commented on the recent speculation and admitted he would be prepared to gamble on a player, but only when an opportunity arises.
"There is always time to take a gamble and we are not against taking a gamble," Wenger said, as quoted by the Evening Standard.
"But what you want is to take a gamble in a market where the opportunity is there.
"I believe this squad is ready to fight for the title and has a chance to do it given that we are continuing to develop as a team."
