Juventus news: Paratici meets agent of wantaway defender amid AC Milan and Arsenal links

Fabio Paratici met the agent of Medhi Benatia last night. The Morocco International is unhappy with his game time with the Old Lady and is pushing to leave the club with AC Milan and Arsenal that are interested in signing the 31-year-old defender.

Juventus are not willing to sell the player in January and Paratici has confirmed the club’s will to Houssein Kharja, a former Fiorentina and Inter midfielder who is now the representative of Benatia.

The situation, however, can change at the end of the season when Benatia will only have one year left in his contract with the Old Lady.

Benatia’s € 3 million-a-year deal with Juventus expires in 2020 and the Old Lady of Italian football could be open to selling him in the summer.

Arsenal and AC Milan are not the only two clubs interested in signing the experienced defender who is also being monitored by Marseille’s Rudi Garcia who coached Benatia at Roma.
