In Italy, there have been reports in the media that "Manchester United" made an offer for Juventus midfielder Medhi Benatia, but the player himself rejected the opportunity to move to England.
The 31-year-old Moroccan, who has practically not played for Juventus this season following Leonardo Bonucci's return, was also of interest to London's "Arsenal", but the Gunners are not willing to spend money in the winter transfer window.
"Sportitalia" reports that "Manchester United" contacted Juventus on Thursday night. They offered 10 million euros, which Juventus immediately agreed to.
However, M. Benatia was not satisfied with the salary offered by the Manchester club - 3.7 million euros. The Moroccan wanted to earn 4.5 million euros per season, so he decided to choose a financially better offer from Qatar instead of "Man Utd".
It is reported that the player will soon sign with the "Al-Duhail" club.
