Benatia confirms Strootman to Marseille
“I spoke to Kevin and we talked about the Velodrome”, Benatia said.
“He loves these challenges and he was very happy. Kevin will play under Rudi Garcia again. They know each other very well. Kevin is a super player and Garcia is an amazing manager. Strootman is a true leader and a top footballer.”
“He has great technical skills. I think he is very similar to Thiago Motta, Marseille have made an excellent signing.”
​Strootman will travel to South of France today to undergo his medical tests with the Ligue 1 giants. The Dutchman was visibly moved when he left Trigoria for the last time yesterday.
