Mehdi Benatia

If not Rome then Madrid.

Latest news in Germany is that Bayern have reached an agreement with Godin and Atletico für 36M €.

That's not an agreement. That's called paying Godin's buyout.

 

[JamDav1982]

Shame if they lose Godin but they have decent back up players and just today they were said to be in for Agger.

Atletico will be fine.

If they end up replacing Godin with Agger they will not be fine.

So is Benatia to Bayern off?

These days, with the press spewing rumors without end to sell papers, you never know for sure if a deal is on/off till the it's is announced by the club itself.

Roma met with his agent and offered an extension. Bayern's offer is not good enough for them at the moment so it depends on if they raise the bid or not or else I can see him staying for another season.

 

[Alarcón]

I think he'll stay, don't think Bayern will pay what Roma want

Translated from L'Equipe:

Mehdi Benatia and Bayern Munich, it's getting hot! On Monday, Moussa Sissoko, the agent of Roma's central defender was in Munich where he found a complete agreement with Bayern's directors. On Tuesday, Sissoko was in Roma to send the Bavarian offer of 30m to the Giallorossi directors. But they have taken a step back because they want 35m (plus a 5m bonus) and also proposed a parallel extension of a salary increase.

However, the Moroccan international has already informed his directors that he wouldn't accept this proposal and that he absolutely wishes to join the Bavarian team. The roman directors also seem to be prepared for this possibility since they began discussions with Matija Nastasic's agents on Tuesday, the central defender of Manchester City.

Looks like Benatia to Bayern's almost done folks.

Hoping for a miracle, but it didn't happen.

35m is still a really good price. Way better deal than either of our 2 CB signings this summer.

So... why did we completely ignore him again? Huge mistake. Wish we could somehow hire Bayern's sporting director and negotiators. And their entire board while we're at it.

 

[Barcaman]

Mathieu is better for us than Benatia. Get over it lads.

 

[linetty]

He could be another Puyol for us but still I don't see his arrival solving any problems.

 

[Icarium]

I don't think even bayern are getting him. Roma are asking too much. No club is willing to pay that amount. If it was 35M city or chelsea could have bought him already. 50M is too much for him. He is not getting any younger too. 50M for hummels might be acceptable but benatia a simple NO.
