Aurélien Tchouaméni invited to The Bridge, Medhi Benatia surprised the French football world by saying he is open to a potential role in the future of Paris Saint-Germain.
A statement that could annoy Marseille. Medhi Benatia was the guest of Aurélien Tchouameni on The Bridge, alongside Paul Pogba, and the former football director of Olympique de Marseille said he is open to a future at Paris Saint-Germain.
Benatia: “I don’t owe anything to anyone”
First recalling his close relationship with Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of PSG: “Not long ago, someone brought up an interview of mine. After my career, I was a bit of an agent. For two years, I lived in Dubai. I was interviewed by Foot Mercato at the time, about the Champions League, and PSG was still in the running. And they asked me: “Who do you support?’ But with the relationship I have today with Nasser, and it is also a French club, I support Paris Saint-Germain. I hope they will go as far as possible as a French club.”
A relationship with the Parisian leader that encourages Benatia to go further in his openness towards PSG: “In 3, 4 years, 5 years, if there is a project where I need to come back to football, where Nasser needs me, and at that time, it pleases me… I don’t owe anything to anyone!” A significant member of the Marseille management between 2023 and 2026, the statement could stir up the football world.
