Mehdi Benatia (AS Roma)
Second on Bayern’s list is AS Roma defender Mehdi Benatia, who has been strongly linked with both Chelsea and Manchester United in recent weeks, but who according to German publication Bild is now closing in on a move to the Allianz Arena. Valued at around £30m, the Moroccan international would certainly make a superb signing for the Bavarian giants in defence, after establishing himself as one of the best centre-backs in Europe with his rock-solid displays in Serie A last season.
It would have been great to see the 27-year-old in the Premier League, but he now looks set to be the latest big name to add to this immense-looking Bayern squad for the 2014/15 season.
