ROMANO EXCLUSIVE: Juve overtake Roma in hunt for Benatia
The bianconeri have already approached the agents of the former AS Roma man, who could replace Martin Caceres and become –together with Daniele Rugani- the main alternative to the magic trio Chiellini-Barzagli-Bonucci. Also the giallorossi were thinking about bringing the player back to the Olimpico, but they have made no moves. However, the Serie A defending champions are not intentioned to make an investment for Benatia, and –also considering his recent injuries- they will try to obtain him on loan with right to buy. Die Roten have no intention to do a favor to a competitor in the Champions League, but they will have to deal with the player’s will.
