Mehdi Benatia, the sporting director of Olympique Marseille, is reportedly being targeted by a major club in the Saudi Pro League.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano posted on X: “Mehdi Benatia has received an offer to become the new sporting director of Al-Ittihad.” He added, “Ramon Planes is ready to leave and join a European project, and Benatia is one of the names under consideration by Al-Ittihad.”

Benatia is expected to leave Marseille at the end of the current season due to differences with the club’s management.

Al-Ittihad currently sits fifth in the Saudi Pro League standings with 52 points.

It is worth noting that Benatia has also been linked with a potential role at Roma in recent hours, given his previous history with the Italian club.
