Main goal of the "Barcelona" club this summer is to acquire a center-back. Moroccan "Roma" defender Mehdi Benatia's name is increasingly mentioned in the Spanish press. However, it will not be easy for the Catalan team to acquire the 27-year-old footballer, as warned by the sports director of the Italian vice-champions Walter Sabatini. "Benatia is not for sale. We would only consider an offer for this player if a sum of 61 million euros was offered. It would be very difficult to refuse then", said W. Sabatini. Both "Bayern" Munich and "Manchester City" are also promising to fight for the Moroccan national team player's signature, but "Roma" has already begun negotiating with the defender's agent for a new contract. The Moroccan arrived in the Italian capital just last season. Before that, M. Benatia has played for teams such as "Udinese" and "Marseille".
