Benatia's cash speech
“” Last March, I called Luis Henrique and told him that I had to sell it. I knew that inter was there and that there was a certain sum of money to collect“, Said the Moroccan leader with a certain transparency.
“” I went to the field, I took him apart after training and I explained everything to him: 'I'm going to have to sell you, they want you, but you have to take me to the Champions League“. Better you will play, the better it will be for Marseille and for you too. ' Impossible to interpret my words differently “added Benatia.
