Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin could be heading to Juventus, opening the door for Medhi Benatia to leave.

According to Mediaset Premium and Sky Sport Italia, the 32-year-old’s introduction would pave the way for Benatia to move on towards France or England.

Godin impressed for Uruguay at the World Cup and he’d be available for around €25m.

His experience would aid the Bianconeri in their Champions League push, while it’s reported Atleti have already found his replacement in Caglar Soyuncu from Freiburg.

Barcelona join the Sergej Milinkovic-Savic chase by offering Rafinha, while Real Madrid and Juventus battle the €150m Lazio asking price.

According to La Repubblica newspaper, Barcelona have been added to the list and could offer Rafinha as part of the deal.

Arsenal are reportedly interested in Juventus defender Medhi Benatia, who is also a target for Marseille.

The Moroccan international has two years remaining on his contract in Turin, but has been linked with an exit this summer.

Benatia has been linked with Arsenal and Olympique Marseille after his World Cup performances for Morocco.

Medhi Benatia is unsure of his Juventus future, as Arsenal join Borussia Dortmund and Olympique Marseille in chasing the defender.

The Morocco international is currently at the World Cup in Russia and confessed to reporters he was “waiting for a call” from Turin.

If he were to leave this summer, he’d likely go abroad with proposals from England, Germany and France.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Arsenal are also now in the running for Benatia’s services.

Medhi Benatia assures he’s “very happy at Juventus”, but “at the age of 31 you have to ask yourself some questions”.

The centre-back has been heavily linked with Marseille this summer, and spoke to reporters after Morocco were eliminated from the World Cup.

“My future is going on holiday, enjoying a little rest and time with my family,” Benatia said.

Medhi Benatia confirmed he has advised his Morocco teammate Hakim Ziyech to snub Ajax and Liverpool. “I hope he joins Roma.”

“I hope he joins Roma,” Juventus defender Benatia told reporters at the 2018 World Cup after Morocco’s defeat to Portugal.

Morocco laid siege to the Portugal goal, but are out of the World Cup after Cristiano Ronaldo inflicted a 1-0 defeat.

Hervé Renard’s side were the better team for the majority of the game, but an early lapse in concentration sent them home.

It didn’t take long for Portugal to open the scoring, and there was never any doubt about where the goal would come from.

Bernardo Silva opted to take a short corner to Joao Moutinho, who swung the ball into the box.

Morocco started well against Iran, but were sucker punched at the death by an Aziz Bouhaddouz own goal.

Both sides needed a win in this one, knowing that Spain and Portugal await in the other group games.

Morocco started the match on the front foot, repeatedly provoking goalmouth scrambles in the Iranian box.

A training ground routine saw Hakim Ziyech presented with a glorious chance from a corner, but he miscued his shot and ended up on his backside.
