The Juventus ace would be a useful addition to the Tottenham Hotspur squad.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will surely be looking to bolster his defensive ranks over the course of the next two transfer windows, with Toby Alderweireld facing an uncertain future in north London, and Jan Vertonghen set to turn 32 in April.
With this in mind, an interesting option for Spurs could be Juventus centre-back Medhi Benatia, with the Moroccan reportedly being made available for just €20 million (£17.8 million), according to Italian publication Calcio Mercato.
The 31-year-old defender joined Juve from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2017 on a permanent deal, having spent the previous season on loan in Turin, and he is widely considered to be one of the best central defenders in European football.
Benatia would bring a real winning mentality to Tottenham, having won two league titles in Italy and Germany, and for the reported fee of just £17.8 million, he would be a real coup for the north London outfit.
The Morocco international is a superb man-marker, and he is a great reader of the game.
He is also a fine ball-playing defender – something that would see him slot perfectly into the Tottenham team.
Benatia is a truly world-class defender, and for the reported fee of just £17.8 million, Spurs cannot afford to miss out on the Juventus ace.
