Benatia has only been at the Allianz Arena for a year after sealing a £19million move from Roma last summer, rejecting Chelsea and Manchester United in the process.
However, Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Inter Milan have opened negotiations over a potential £16m, alerting Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal to the Moroccan's availability.
It is believed that Bayern have already lined up a replacement in the form of Tunisia international Abdennour, who is wanted by both Arsenal and Tottenham.
The versatile centre-back has become one of Europe's most sought-after talents, and could be plying his trade under Pep Guardiola next season.
