Mehdi Benatia has been linked to some of the best clubs in Europe including Paris Saint German and Manchester City, but the Moroccan defender claimed he will not leave Udinese in January.

“I am staying with Udinese for sure,” he told French newspaper L’Equipe.

“Maybe I could even stay one more season here. PSG are a good team though and I am in touch with Sissoko and Menez. I have been in contact with them but no serious negotiation yet.”

Benatia could be leaving the Stadio Friuli in June for a 15M Euros fee.
