Juventus are closing-in on the signing of Bayern Munich defender Mehdi Benatia, according to reports.
The Bianconeri have been consistently linked with the Moroccan defender this summer, with reports this week that the player had agreed to take a slight wage cut.
That just left the two clubs to negotiate the formula of the transfer, and Gianluca Di Marzio’s website now reports that a deal is very close.
If the move goes through, it’s expected to be a loan with an obligation to buy, with the total value of the transfer set at €18m.

Benatia would become the third signing of the summer for Juventus, following the arrivals of Miralem Pjanic and Dani Alves.
