Re: Official: Mehdi Benatia signs for Bayern Munich

Still think 30m is low-ball territory.

We sell him for anything less than 40m and it's Lamela all over again. Need to channel our inner Bilbao here.

by Mr Nick09 Mon Aug 25, 2014 10:02 pm

it is. you should be getting 40 mil for him

by Tomwin Lannister Mon Aug 25, 2014 10:40 pm

Lowest i'd go is 35 + easy to reach bonuses for 5M I.E 20 apps or some shit.

In this day and age if you look a bit brazilian and have a few good games in a pre-season tournament you're woth 15M at least

Benatia was solid for Udinese, now he's hitting his peak and is looking to be World Class short of a massive u-turn in his career.

Has 6 years left in him at a similar level as well. Bad business to even look at a freaking 25M + fee deal

by BarrileteCosmico Mon Aug 25, 2014 10:47 pm

If Bayern don't want to pay Roma should just tell them to peace. Even for 35m I would take him in a heartbeat. So would many other clubs I feel.

by Tomwin Lannister Mon Aug 25, 2014 10:55 pm

Jesus i'm surprised there's not a lot of clubs sniffing about him

United seem desperate, they play a back 3 which Benatia has experience in and they have plenty of cash. Why they aren't calling Roma up right now and offering 35 + Some bench player who'd be worth it is beyond me.

The clubs reached an agreement on a €26M fee plus €4M add-ons: €30M in total, as Roma’s management wanted. Benatia will sign a five-year contract and will earn €4M per year.

Excellent deal by Bayern.

Barca rofl

10m too low....not the best deal by Roma.

Low-balled. Again.

Good riddance though. Benatia is a fine defender, among the best in the world honestly, but he definitely tarnished that with his behavior earlier on in the summer. Roma gave him the armband last year as he was one of the leaders of this squad and he took a symbolic dump on it. An excellent player, but a straight up mercenary.

At least he didn't go to Man Utd.

Would've preferred it. They would've overpaid for him.

Yeah, they know how to haggle. At least now no one can say they only manage to get cheap deals from the Bundesliga clubs. ^^

I guess he preferred a move to us once we were in, makes you wonder though what these clubs did during all the time we weren't in, before Javi's injury.

And basically 30m € is still a hell of a lot of money for a central defender, the Luiz transfer has disorted everyone's perception.

Bayern's official twitter account:

Perfekt: FCB und AS Rom einig über Transfer von MEHDI BENATIA (27)! Abwehr-Ass soll 5-Jahres-Vertrag unterschreiben. ^M.Hörwick

Bayern and Roma agree a transfer for Benatia. Contract for 5 years.
