Barcelona prefer PSG centre back Marquinhos (20) to Roma centre back Mehdi Benatia (27) because of age and better passing game. [md]

:facepalm:

Everyone but Zubi can see that Benatia would easily be our best choice. How the fuck could we prefer Marquinhos for 40m+ over Benatia for 30-35m? Oh well, at least it's only MD, so it could be bullshit.

We better either get both, or get Benatia, because Marquinhos alone won't be enough. Not to mention he's overpriced as fuck.

How disrespectful to Bartra would it be to start 20 y/o never played Tiki-Taka Marquinhos instead of him?
Smells like BS

Fuck the passing game. We fucking need a strong CB who is a beast overall. Benatia is a machine, we need someone exactly like him and not a 20 year old inexprienced kid.are they fucking out of their mind to prefer Marquinhos over Benatia??

They need to get their head out of their arse and realise that overpaying for Benatia is better than overpaying for Marquinhos just because the latter supposedly has a better passing game. Hell I'd pay out the buyout of Laporte rather than overpaying for Marquinhos. It's MD so take with a pinch of salt, but if there is any truth in it then it's a disgrace of massive proportions.

According to reports in the Italian media AS Roma will be prepared to sell defender Mehdi Benatia. The Serie A club in recent weeks have always maintained that the Moroccan international isn’t for sale but things have changed in the past couple of days.

TMW have reported that Roma will now start to listen to offers for Benatia which will put both Manchester City and Spanish giants Barcelona on alert. Both clubs have been tracking the player in recent weeks but Roma manager Rudi Garcia has regarded him as an untouchable and therefore he wasn’t prepared to let him leave. The Italian side have been trying to extend the contract of the 27 year old but it now seems they are further away to agreeing on this and therefore they have backtracked on their decision to trying to keep the player at the club.

Only this week Calcimercarto reported that Benatia dreams of playing for a club like Manchester City. He said that he is now at a stage in his career were he needs to play for a bigger club and indentified the likes of the Premier League champions and Barcelona as being clubs he would like to join.

“Today there are clubs such as Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Manchester City, teams that are the dreams of footballer. Anyway, I'm waiting, and we're talking with my agent. I think soon we will know a little more," said the Moroccan international on his future,” said Benatia on his desire to play for the Premier League champions.

With Vincent Kompany needing a reliable partner in the centre of the defence Benatia may be seen as an alternative to Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala. The French international has recently spoken about not wanting to join Manchester City but instead play for Chelsea so the club have had to look for alternatives.

Rome-based newspaper Il Tempo claims Roma are now willing to sell City and Barca target Mehdi Benatia (27), but only for £32.4m (€40m).
