Marseille, Benatia: “We had contact with De Bruyne in the summer, but Napoli were ahead”

MARSEILLE (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – Marseille had also set their sights on Kevin De Bruyne, whose contract with Manchester City is expiring. Mehdi Benatia, former Roma and Juventus defender and now OM sporting director, revealed to the broadcaster “RMC” that he contacted the Belgian last summer: “I wanted to meet him, discuss things. He was free. I thought it could work with De Zerbi. But he was already too far along with Napoli.”
