Mehdi Benatia’s outstanding season has been recognized with the prestigious title of “Player of the Season,” awarded by AS Roma supporters. The Moroccan defender’s arrival from Udinese last summer was initially quiet, but he quickly made a significant impact.
Widely regarded as one of the top defenders in Italy, Benatia played a pivotal role in AS Roma’s resurgence on the European stage. Beyond his defensive prowess, the Atlas Lions’ captain showcased his goal-scoring ability, netting 5 goals this season. Despite being sidelined due to injury for a month, Benatia is expected to return next weekend to conclude the season.
However, there are uncertainties about whether he will remain with AS Roma amid interest from several top European clubs eager to secure his services.
