In an interview given to France Football this Friday, Medhi Benatia returned to his departure from OM and his much-discussed comments concerning a possible arrival at Paris Saint-Germain. He notably declared: “in 3, 4 years, 5 years, if there is a project or I need to come back to football, and Nasser needs me, and it must be in a role at Paris Saint-Germain, and that, at that moment, I like it… But why do I owe what to someone? I don’t owe anyone anything! I don’t owe anyone anything. Me, if you wait for me to say “no” because I owe that to so-and-so… I don’t owe anyone anything. » However, the former Marseille sports director wanted to clarify the meaning of his exit in The Bridge.
“I answered the disturbing question (“if we asked you to be director of Paris, would you accept?”) and it was misinterpreted. The message was not “if Nasser calls me tomorrow, I’ll go.” I have a great relationship with him, so if, in a few years, he calls me and it’s good for me, I’ll go. I am free. What do I owe? To whom? I tried to serve OM in the interest of the club. PSG is the rival, so what? We are professionals, we work. I do what I want. That was the message. Not a call at all”re-explained the 39-year-old Moroccan.
