I’ve followed this account for a while, and when I say ‘a while’, I mean, some years. And it’s been correct 70-80% of the time.
@juvefcdotcom has said that Medhi Benatia‘s team have met with Juventus’ management today on Benatia’s next club.
Arsenal is the preferred destination but the Twitter account says other clubs in China are interested.
Medhi Benatia, 31, whose current value is pegged at £13.5m is currently surplus requirements to the ‘Old Lady’ Juventus. The French-Morrocan joined Juventus from Bayern Münich in 2017 for around £14m and has only featured for the Italian giants six (6) times this season.
Laurent Koscielny’s back and seems ahead of Mustafi in the pecking order. And, the Koscielny – Sokratis partnership seems to work better than the Sokratis – Mustafi one.
Do you think we need Benatia now?
And if we do, can we afford him?
