Bayern Munich's team officially announced that they have reached an agreement on the buyout of Roma defender Mehdi Benatia.
The Bavarians had to look for a replacement after the serious injury of Javi Martinez.
The Moroccan national team footballer will sign a five-year contract with the German champions.
It is estimated that the transfer fee for the 27-year-old player will be around 30-35 million euros.
In the past, M.Benatia has also played for Marseille, Tours, Lorient, Clermont, and Udinese clubs.
Roma club did not actively seek a replacement for the Moroccan player - Olympiacos' young defender Kostas Manolas was acquired by the Italian vice-champions from Piraeus.
It is reported that the Greek player, who is being sought after by London's Arsenal, cost 13 million euros to the Italian capital's team.
