Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is ready to go head-to-head with Sir Alex Ferguson for Udinese defender Mehdi Benatia.
The Morocco international has confirmed this will be his final season in Udine, and has already welcomed interest from Manchester United and PSG in recent days.
The versatile defender is renowned as a centre half, but can also play in defensive positions left and right of midfield. The 24-year old is expected to fetch for around £8 million when he leaves next summer and both Chelsea and United will be battling it out for his signature.
