german medias are saying hes close to bayern.. yesterday it was manu.
pep said he wants a young CB and benatia is soon 28 years old.
I dont get this wy bayern are buying a worldclass Cb just because Martinez is out for 6 months.. they have Boateng, Badstuber, Dante and Alaba who play in the 3 man deffense, with benatia and in 6 months martinez they have to much wc CB's..
Dante has been shit the past 12 months, Alaba as libero in the 3 CB lineup was an experiment in te pre-season, wich didn't reap any rewards at all.
Martinez will be basically out for the whole season and there is still a huge questionmark behind Badstuber and how good he will turn out.
I really have no idea how people get the idea that Bayern are not in need of someone like Benatia.
btw, Pep also said in that statement that he wanted someone who's good with the ball, 1.95m tall and good with headers, fast and agile, young etc.
Clearly, he was joking, indicating that Bayern will have to compromise now.
