Roma defender Mehdi Benatia has been the subject of feverish speculation of late, with the British press linking him with a move to Manchester Untied, Chelsea and Manchester City.

So far we have learned that United have bid £24million in a bid to, er, gazump Chelsea’s £30million bid for a player who would prefer to play for Man City.

Yesterday, the Daily Star informed their readers that Benatia is going nowhere…

However, Metro reported that Benatia is definitely leaving, and that he’s heading to Manchester United or Chelsea…

The Star then U-turned and started spouting off that Benatia is leaving Roma after all, though not for the Premier League.

Those Daily Star editorial meetings must be frenzied! (We know, we know: What editorial meetings?)

For the record, Benatia did train, albeit lightly.

Also in the trusty Star came this: Fresh hope for Chelsea…

    He’ll WANT to go to whoever pays him the most.
    This is whats come to be known as a fucking mercenary wanker.
    He’ll jump ship the moment his pay is a day late.
