Roma drop Benatia for AEK

By Football Italia staff

Mehdi Benatia is left out of Roma’s squad against AEK Athens, fuelling reports of a move to Bayern Munich.

The defender is not in the list of players for tomorrow’s friendly match.

It has been reported by German media that he is in extensive negotiations with Bayern.

Benatia had also been of interest to Chelsea and Manchester United with a €30m price-tag.

Miralem Pjanic and Salih Ucan are in the squad for the AEK Athens game only if they pass a fitness test.

Roma squad for AEK Athens: Astori, Borriello, Cole, De Rossi, De Sanctis, Destro, Emanuelson, Florenzi, Gervinho, Keita, Iturbe, Ljajic, Lobont, Nainggolan, Paredes, Pjanic, Romagnoli, Sanabria, Somma, Skorupski, Torosidis, Totti, Ucan
