Will Medhi Benatia join the Turkish league? The Moroccan international is of great interest to a Super Lig club who would like to enlist him during this summer transfer window.
According to Tuttosport information, Fatih Karagümrük is negotiating the arrival of the 34-year-old defender, free from any engagement since his departure from Al-Duhail.
In addition, the club’s coach, the Italian Francesco Farioli, is said to be in contact with the player and try to convince him to give it a go.
The Moroccan’s name has also been mentioned with Galatasaray and Beşiktaş since leaving Qatar. Benatia has sparked interest in Serie A, from both Genoa and Bologna.
Trained in Marseille, Benatia has spent most of his career in Italy, where he arrived in 2010 to represent Udinese, before establishing himself as one of the league’s most successful defenders and might be more tempted by a return to Italy.
As a reminder, the former Bayern Munich announced his decision to leave Al-Duhail after two and a half years. He helped the team win the 2019 Emir of Qatar Cup and the league title a year later.
Transferred to the Qarar in January 2019, Benatia had left Juventus in Turin after an incessant conflict with his coach, Massimo Allgeri, who often put him aside.
After the departure of the Italian technician, rumors of a return of the Moroccan were circulating in the Italian press. Information confirmed by the principal concerned who almost returned there on loan last summer.
