Sabatini sets Benatia price for Roma sale

AS Roma chief Walter Sabatini says they're prepared to sell Mehdi Benatia - for top price.

Barcelona and Manchester City are chasing the outspoken defender.

"Benatia is a guy with sound principles - he didn't want to take a step away from Roma fans or his team-mates," Sabatini told a Press conference.

"He has been completely coherent, he's never played for himself, always with and for the team.

"Personally I think €30m is the value of Benatia's weak foot. If Benatia's weak foot is worth €30m then the total price would be €61m.

"Benatia is not for sale, unless someone comes to us with an offer of €61m."
