Mehdi Benatia Attracts Interest from Top European Clubs Amid Bayern Munich Links
AS Roma’s standout performer of the 2013-2014 season, Mehdi Benatia, is reportedly attracting the attention of several top European clubs, with both Manchester City and Bayern Munich among the most prominent suitors.
The Moroccan defender has been a key figure at Roma, showcasing his defensive prowess and earning widespread recognition across Europe. While rumors have circulated about a potential move to Bayern Munich, the Bavarian club’s general manager, Matthias Sammer, has tempered expectations by stating that recruitment discussions have not yet taken place.
“Of course, we know what he is capable of, but we have to talk first,” Sammer remarked, acknowledging Benatia’s quality without confirming any official interest.
With Bayern Munich still focused on securing the double after winning the Bundesliga, attention has now shifted to the upcoming German Cup final. As the club continues to pursue domestic glory, any potential moves in the transfer market will likely take a backseat until after the season’s conclusion.
Despite the speculation surrounding Benatia’s future, Roma remains keen to retain the Moroccan international, who has played a pivotal role in their defensive line this season. However, with the interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, it remains to be seen whether Roma will be able to fend off potential suitors.
