Mehdi Benatia Set to Stay at AS Roma Amid Transfer Speculation
AS Roma defender Mehdi Benatia is expected to remain at the club despite strong interest from Manchester United and Chelsea. Roma’s head coach Rudi Garcia addressed the swirling transfer rumors in a recent press conference.
“Benatia? Everything I read makes me laugh. Yesterday, it was 99% certain that he was leaving, and today, it’s 99% certain that he’s staying,” Garcia joked, highlighting the uncertainty around the Moroccan international’s future.
Benatia has been a key player for Roma, featuring in 33 Serie A matches and scoring five goals during the 2013-14 season. His performances have attracted attention from top Premier League clubs, but for now, he looks set to continue his career in Italy.
