Juventus target Benatia rebukes Bayern: 'If they don't want me, I'll leave!'
A star at the Olimpico, the Moroccan international has languished in obscurity since moving to Germany (only 27 Bundesliga appearances), struggling to earn playing time and reportedly angling for a return to Italy.
"Bayern are dealing with Mats Hummels" Benatia said to Sky Sport Germany", I have no problems, but if I have to leave, I'll leave, but first I want to end the season well.
The 29-year old Moroccan defender's tongue suddenly sharpened, as he fired this barbed comment at the club, guilty of having dealt in transfer speculation before a key European date with Atletico Madrid.
"I'm going through a very important phase of my career as a footballer, and I won't follow the club's lead in talking about the transfer window before a Champions League semifinal".
