BENATIA: IF I HAVE TO LEAVE
BAYERN, THEN I WILL
By Sacha Pisani
The 29-year-old defender has been linked
with a summer move to Juventus and says
he has not ruled out the possibility of leaving
Allianz Arena at the end of the season
Medhi Benatia is open to the possibility of
leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the
season amid the club's interest in Mats
Hummels.
Chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has
confirmed the club's interest in the Germany
international, although the defender has
subsequently denied claims he has asked to
join Bayern .
Talk of Hummels' return to Bayern has
sparked speculation over Benatia's future at
Allianz Arena amid interest from Italian
champions Juventus.
And former Roma centre-back Benatia left
the door open to a Bayern exit following
Saturday's 1-1 draw against Borussia
Monchengladbach, with the Morocco
international criticising the club's public
pursuit of Hummels.
"Hummels? He is a great player and would be
welcomed here," Benatia was quoted as
telling Sky Sport Italia.
"In my case, if I have to leave Bayern at the
end of this season, then I will leave.
"I will not do it like the managerial staff, who
spoke about transfer rumours before an
important game like the semi-finals of the
Champions league [against Atletico Madrid].
"I am only thinking on finishing the season
well and I want to live great emotions. I am
talking about the Champions League, the
Bundesliga title and the German Cup. In a
player's career, it is important to live these
moments."
