Arsenal target Medhi Benatia was coy when discussing his future at Juventus on Wednesday.
The central defender addressed the media after his Morocco side were knocked out of the World Cup at the group stages following defeats against Iran and Portugal.
Benatia, as quoted by Football Italia, insisted that he remains happy to be under contract with the Serie A champions, but refused to rule out an exit this summer.
We’ll see, I’m very happy at Juve, we have a group of incredible lads and I’m happy to be part of it. I have two years on my contract, but I also want to understand what Juventus want to do. Either way, I won’t create any problems.
Nobody has asked me to leave, but at the age of 31, you have to ask yourself some questions. If I’ve to stay I’ll be happy, my family is happy in Turin. Up until now, I was focused on the World Cup, now we’ll meet with the directors and decide what the best thing to do is.
The 31-year-old has been linked with a switch to Arsenal for a number of weeks now, and a move to Marseille has also been touted for the experienced centre-back.
Arsenal are out to strengthen their backline this summer and are understood to have agreed on a deal with Borussia Dortmund to sign Sokratis Papastathopoulos for £16 million. Freiburg youngster Caglar Soyuncu has also been linked.
Benatia, however, may still be a viable option for Unai Emery, with his future at Juventus seemingly not secure.
