Benatia set for Juventus medical

By Football Italia staff

There are reports Medhi Benatia will undergo his Juventus medical tomorrow morning after a €20m Bayern Munich deal.

Sky Sport Italia and several other sources suggest an agreement has been made to take Benatia on loan with an option to buy for a total of €20m.

The €18m option could become mandatory in 2017 after a certain number of appearances, on top of the €2m loan.

He'll be given a four-year contract worth €3m per season.

However, Mediaset Premium and Sky Sport Italia claim the deal is €3m for the loan and the €17m option is not compulsory.

The Corriere dello Sport claims the 29-year-old defender will be in Turin on Thursday morning for his medical.

The Morocco international returns to Serie A two years after he left Roma for €28m.

He played in Italy with Udinese and Roma.

Benatia is coming in to replace Martin Caceres, who was released as a free agent.

His arrival does not mean the sale of Leonardo Bonucci to Manchester City is any more likely.
