Arsenal's bid for Mehdi Benatia rejected
After conceding 23 league goals this season, Arsene Wenger has decided to rope in a central defender this January. The Londoners had decided to try their luck with Juventus and had made a £30 million bid for Mehdi Benatia.
But according to Calciomercato, Juventus have rejected advances from the Gunners as the Italian champions view Benatia as an integral member of the side. The 30-year-old has been a regular for Juventus this season after the departure of Leonardo Bonucci.
Aleix Vidal open to AS Roma switch
Vidal has found it tough to crack a starting berth at FC Barcelona since the arrival of Ernesto Valverde. He has been linked with a move away from Camp Nou since the past summer with AS Roma keeping tabs on the fullback.
His agent, Ruggero Lacerenza has now confirmed to Tele Radio Sereno that Roma are ready to take the 28-year-old on board with the player also thinking about the offer seriously. Atletico Madrid are also reportedly monitoring the scene.
