Mehdi Benatia

Sky Italy journalist Gianluca Di Marzio appeared on Centro Suono Sport this afternoon and, again, discussed AS Roma’s potential transfer dealings:


How do things stand with Benatia?
“The player was expecting different treatment. He didn’t say he wants to leave. Roma don’t want to double his salary. There should be talks with the player; it’s not best to keep an unhappy player. It’s necessary to talk to him, and with a little common sense, you can find solutions. His statements were strong, now I’m expecting the club to make a move. If you (Benatia) have bought a home in Rome, it’s because you want to stay.”

Does Dodo’s injury change Sabatini’s plans?
“It’s absolutely necessary to add to the left with one or two players. Adriano could leave Barcelona, but it’ll be for at least €12m-13m. Juventus is also aware (of him). He’s an important player, so is Filipe Luis, but everyone wants him. Kolarov earns €4m and I know that he is talking with Bayern Munich and when there are certain competitors, you can not even get into the running.”

Grenier?
“He’s a very good midfielder, but I think Lyon will give one away between him and Gonalons, but he’s an alternative to Pjanic.”

Striker?
“I expect something on Cerci. He’s (Cerci) pushing for it and he’s very willing. I don’t know if it’ll be difficult to find an agreement with Cairo (Torino’s president). But given the difficulties for Iturbe, who Real is pushing for, I expect that Roma will give it a try (for Cerci). I don’t know how much they’re looking for a center foward. There are no names that there are actual negotiations for. Regarding Destro to Inter, there is nothing.”

Is Ljajic leaving?
“I’m aware of Atletic Madrid, but they wanted him last year too, but now the train has passed. I can’t see other teams on him. You have the Champions League and need wide attackers and he’d be very useful.”

Suspect the transfer market still recovering from the shock of the fee paid by PSG for David Luiz...

Fully agree.

One of the reasons I came up with that outlandish conspiracy theory that in addition to collusion for other gains, Chelsea and PSG wanted to completely distort market values in this transfer window to hinder other top clubs from signing top-tier players.

It is probably false, but I would do it if I thought it could potentially work.
 
Mundo Deportivo (dont know of their credibility) are reporting that barca offered alves and 20 million for alves but psg want 30 million and alves which barcelona are not agreeing to. If we want Benatia we need to get this deal done now!

Didn't they report 20 million plus Alves for Marquinhos, not Benatia.

No, it was "Barca offered 20 million plus Marquinhos for Benatia to PSG"

Sounds like a good deal to me.

“This jersey is beautiful, but we must fill it with trophies. The ‘Roma is loved without question’ motto is important, it’s an idea inside of you, everyone coming to Rome can realize it. I have spoken with Benatia, everything is alright and will be fine in the end. Luckily I have already won a Scudetto, but winning another one would be fantastic. Wearing this shirt is one of the greatest things, when you are a kid there are a lot of dreams you want to make come true and I couldn’t expect to get at this level, but I made it and I’m proud of what I have done. We must bring Roma as high as possible for our fans who are amazing. You must make sacrifices to be always at the top,” he said before leaving.
