Mehdi Benatia

PSG have accepted Barcelona's offer for centre back Marquinhos. [sport]

If the Marquinhos deal goes through, between that and Pique signing a new deal and Bartra being rated internally at Barca, hopefully they won't go for Benatia as well when there are other positions that need filling
 
Just to point out, Marquinhos and Benatia don't have the same agent, Marquinhos agent is Brazilian and Benatia's is French.

Barcelona going for Marquinhos is good, paves the way for us to Benatia.

Not really good news.

I personally feel they'll sign both. They've been needing to get 2 quality CBs in for a while. Plus, Marquinhos can play RB.

Luis Enrique wants a tall RB, so that's why they've gone for Marquinhos.

Heard Pique has signed a new 4 year deal to stay at Barca today...

Pique will remain a starter, on Revista last week they said he could become captain if I remember.

I don't see them going for Benatia now they have got Marquinhos, they need a right back, midfielder and they want a number 9 striker.

ESPN are reporting through L’Equipe.

"Manchester City were issued the first "hands off" warning of the summer. The Blues' interest in Mehdi Benatia has been swiftly rebuffed by Roma boss Rudi Garcia, who says the Moroccan is going nowhere. "[Miralem] Pjanic's contract renewal is a signal. We will keep our players and reinforce," Garcia told L’Equipe. "Benatia has four years left on his contract and no release clause. He will remain with us next term." Well, that's City told."

Looks like he's off the market.

Bollocks. What he's really saying is "You lot want him, you'd better UP your offer"

True but are we willing to break the bank? It seems very similar to the Marquinhos situation. Mancini wanted him. We were in talks but they didn't want to sell him. At that time he had barley played for the club. The next summer he was sold to PSG for ridiculous money for an unproven player. Sure if we offered 30m they'd probably sell but would the club spend that kind of money on a 27 year old with only 1 season of top flight first team football under his belt?

BeIN Sports should know their stuff re: PSG

Provided our interest is genuine,this surely is great news for us.
