Zanzi: Benatia is a Roma player
The 27-year-old defender has been coveted by the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich all summer, and it is said a bid of €30 million will be enough to prise him from the Giallorossi.
“Mehdi is our player. According to some media sources he had already been sold, but instead he is training with us in a very professional manner,” Zanzi told Corriere dello Sport.
“”It’s a shame about all these rumours. He is a great person and is behaving in the best possible way.
“The transfer market is dynamic, as until September 1 we will evaluate every opportunity and ensure we are ready.”
Benatia made 33 Serie A appearances last season as he helped Roma to second place and Champions League qualification.
