Sky Sport Italia are now reporting that an agreement has been reached, which will see Pep Guardiola’s team pay an initial figure of €26m for the centre-back, with a further €4m potentially due on bonuses.
For Benatia it is understood that there is a five-year contract set, paying an annual salary of €4m.
The player is expected to fly out to Germany tomorrow to undergo medical tests and to complete formalities on the transfer, to end only a 12-month stay in the capital.
Roma, meanwhile, are closing in on a transfer for Kostas Manolas, after he underwent medical tests in Rome this morning.
