The agent of AS Roma defender Mehdi Benatia insists there's been no contact with Chelsea.

The Morocco international has been linked with a big money move to the Blues as their manager Jose Mourinho seeks a new centre-half signing.

However, agent Moussa Sissoko insists they've not heard from Chelsea.

He told TMW: "Benatia to Chelsea? Not true. For what concerns us, these are market rumours.

"Roma for his future? I would say yes."
