Udinese's Moroccan defender Mehdi Benatia said on Wednesday he is enjoying his time in Italy, adding that only an offer from a top European club would tempt him to consider a move.
The Moroccan international has been linked with several Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.
Italian trio AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus and Fiorentina are reportedly interested in acquiring the player's services. Benatia's contract will expire in the summer of 2017.
"I am loving my time in Italy," Benatia was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"The league is a very good one and to be honest an important Italian team will always be my first choice unless a huge English, Spanish or German club come for me.
"The Italian league is a top championship with top clubs who are very attractive as well, so if I have an offer from a big club here I will listen to that club," he added
