Benjani Reveals Italian Snub Portsmouth striker
Benjani Mwaruwari claims that he has rejected the overtures of Italian giants Juventus in favour of signing a new contract with the south coast club.
Benjani Reveals Italian Snub
Benjani, who currently leads the Premiership goal-scoring charts following an explosive start to the season, was the target of £7 million big by the Juve manager Claudio Ranieri as he aims to guide the 'Old Lady’ to their first league title in five years.
Speaking of the interest, Benjani said, “"Juventus made an offer and Portsmouth know about it.
"But I know the leaders at Portsmouth are about to offer me a much higher contract than what the Italians can give me.
"I'm happy at Portsmouth and I want to stay there for a long time."
The Zimbabwe international was signed by Harry Redknapp in 2006 from French side Auxerre for a then club-record £4.1 million and has become a fans-favourite for the club and his form this season, seeing him score eight league goals.
