Juventus Urged to Scout Moroccan Defenders Amid Defensive Struggles

Former Moroccan international Medhi Benatia, who was also captain of the Atlas Lions, recommends two Moroccan defenders to Juventus, his former club, which "is going through a bit of a complicated period, especially off the field."

"Juve is going through a bit of a complicated period, especially off the field. I’m a bit sad about this situation, because it’s a club that has brought me a lot. [...] Bonucci (central defender) is one of those who always give everything but age is catching up with him too. If I can give some advice, I would say they can look at Morocco. When I see the central defense with Saiss and Aguerd, in my opinion these are two important names that can be useful to Juve," said the former Juventus defender in an interview with Ilbianconero.com. According to Medhi, his two compatriots who play respectively for Besiktas and West Ham can help the Italian club get back on track.

Reacting to the recommendations of their former defender, the Bianconeri admit that they need new defenders at the end of this season to have an impact on our team and that "Saiss and Aguerd" "do not have a bad record." However, they believe that the Besiktas player is already too old to be transferred to Turin, but Aguerd has time on his side and has been decent in recent months. "It is not yet clear if he is on our list of targets, but the defender can surely have an impact if he moves to Turin and could seize the opportunity to represent a top club," Juventus added.
