AC Milan are in negotiations with Juventus for the transfer of Medhi Benatia. The Bianconeri have already rejected an opening offer from Milan.
Injuries have always been an issue at Casa Milan but few would predicted at the beginning of the season that after 12 rounds AC Milan would have lost half of their team. That’s exactly what has happened and the defense is the most affected department. With Musacchio, Caldara and Romagnoli out, coach Gattuso must find unconventional solutions.
Sporting director Leonardo is aware of the difficult situation and is moving on the transfer market. There are several targets the Brazilain is monitoring and one of the most interesting names is that of Juventus star Mehdi Benatia.
While the Rossoneri are very close to reaching an agreement for the purchase of Rodrigo Caio four 12 million euros, Gattuso needs an additional defender. The Brazilian will need time to adapt to Serie A. Benatia on the other hand is in his seventh season in Italy. A very experienced centre back that would settle in immediately.
AC Milan proposed a loan move with the obligation to buy at the end of the season for 15 million euros. An offer that was rejected by Juventus, however, negotiations are reportedly continuing.
According to Tuttosport, Juventus have informed their Rossoneri colleagues that Mehdi Benatia is indeed on the market but his price tag is 20 million euros. Also, the Bianconeri will not take into consideration any proposal that includes his loan.
