Ahead of Mehdi Benatia’s crunch talks with A.S. Roma to discuss his future, the player’s agent has revealed that there are number of “big clubs” chasing after the centre back’s signature.
 
Speaking to L’Equipe, Moussa Sissoko stated: 
 
“We will have a meeting the Roma hierarchy and then we will see what the outcome will be.”
 
“They [Roma officials] know of the interest in Mehdi Benatia from big clubs across Europe.”
 
The Moroccan international has enjoyed an outstanding start to life with Roma, as both player and club have enjoyed, statistically, their best Serie A season. Benatia has scored five goals in thirty games for the Giallorossi since his 13.5 million move from Udinese.
 
Despite reported interest from other clubs, agent, Moussa Sissoko, stated that his client is currently enjoying life in the Italian capital:
 
“Today, he is very happy in Rome.”
