Benatia leaves Juventus in €10m Qatar deal

Medhi Benatia has joined Qatari club Al Duhail from Juventus in a deal worth €10 million (£9m/$11m), Goal understands.

The Moroccan defender joined Juve from Bayern Munich in 2016 and has played 41 times in Serie A, helping the team to win two Italian league titles and two Coppa Italias.

Benatia played as Morocco made their first World Cup finals appearance in 20 years in Russia last summer, starting two of the team’s three games as they were eliminated at the group stage.

His place at Juve will be taken by Martin Cacerers, who is set to join the Bianconeri from Lazio.
