Roma chief Zanzi expects to keep Benatia

AS Roma chief Italo Zanzi insists they're not planning to sell Mehdi Benatia.

The defender is being linked with Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

Zanzi said: "Mehdi is our player. According to some media sources he had already been sold, but instead he is training with us in a very professional manner.

"It's a shame about all these rumours. He is a great person and is behaving in the best possible way.

"The transfer market is dynamic, as until September 1 we will evaluate every opportunity and ensure we are ready."
