Mehdi Benatia potentially moving to Manchester City this summer is a big deal! After just one season at Roma, it looks like the Moroccan defender is already attracting serious interest from top clubs. €38 million is a hefty price tag, but for a strong, reliable center-back like Benatia, City might see it as a solid investment—especially given their ambitions to compete on all fronts.
The situation with Roma’s contract offer falling short of his expectations definitely explains why he’s looking elsewhere. Plus, with Chelsea and Barcelona also interested, it’s clear he’s highly valued. The fact that City are waiting for a replacement in Eder Alvarez Balanta shows how serious they are about making this happen.
If Benatia does land at City, he’d likely add much-needed depth and quality to their defense. How do you think he’d fit into their lineup alongside players like Kompany and Otamendi?
