AS Roma fans have launched a charm offensive to convince Mehdi Benatia to stay. The Daily Star says Roma fans have begged Manchester City target Benatia not to join the English billionaires.
The Moroccan international defender is on Manuel Pellegrini's wanted list but hundreds of Roma fans turned up at the club's training ground yesterday in Trigoria to convince him not to leave the Serie A giants.
City see Benatia as an alternative to Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala.
