Mehdi Benatia, the AS Roma defender (27 years old, under contract until June 2018), is currently attracting significant interest from top European clubs. Already considered a priority target for David Moyes at Manchester United, Benatia is now reportedly eyeing a potential move to Barcelona.
According to reports from El Mundo Deportivo, the Moroccan international is disgruntled with the football authorities in his home country and sees an opportunity to succeed Carles Puyol at Barcelona. However, it is believed that Roma will only entertain offers for Benatia if they exceed €20 million, as reported by the British press.
