M.Benatia: I wanted to finish my career in the "Juventus" team

The former defender Medhi Benatia, who left "Juventus", released a public statement on social media.

According to the veteran, he did not want to leave Italy, but the twists of fate unfolded in such a way.

"I will take this opportunity to say goodbye to the 'Juventus' family, players, staff members, coaches, and other people whom I will definitely miss.

We went through a lot together and achieved great success. In July, I was sure I would end my career here, but unfortunately, life had surprises in store.

So, I had to change my plans, but I kept the desire to win and I strive to make decisions for the well-being of my family," said M. Benatia.

The club "Al-Duhail" will pay the Moroccan player 4.5 million euros per season.

M. Benatia played for the "Juventus" team since 2016. During that time, the defender managed to play 60 matches and score five goals.
