Bundesliga heavyweights to rival Arsenal for €25m-rated World Cup defender

Arsenal will face competition from Borussia Dortmund for the signature of Juventus defender Mehdi Benatia.

According to reports from Italy in La Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited on the Express, the player is attracting interest from both clubs, with his future in Turin looking bleak.

The report claims that Juventus value the player at around €25 million, with Unai Emery keen to strengthen defensively this summer.

It is believed that a deal to sign Benatia would not be instead of Sokratis, who has agreed a move to the Emirates, but as well as.

Juventus are pushing to sign Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax this summer, casting doubts over the amount of regular game time the Moroccan defender would get in the new campaign.

Young defender Caglar Soyuncu is also being linked with a move to the Emirates after impressing in the Bundesliga, but the experience of Benatia may be a favourable trait for Emery to pursue.
