Ismael Bennacer may soon get a move away from AC Milan as a club in the Saudi Pro League have opened talks.
Bennacer joined Marseille on a six-month loan deal with an option to buy right at the end of the winter transfer window but he did not regularly and thus there were thus strong doubts about the buy-out being used.

There was talk of Milan being irritated by Bennacer’s decision to try and force an exit right at the end of the window, and when Marseille chose to let the option expire, the Algerian again became an issue to try and resolve.
Bennacer attracts Saudi interest
Fabrizio Romano has now given an update, stating: “Understand Al-Ittihad have opened talks with AC Milan for Ismael Bennacer as midfield option. Wendel from Zenit St Petersburg, another option in the shortlist with Al Ittihad keen on adding new midfielder this summer.”
Bennacer is clearly not a part of the plans even with the change in head coach to Massimiliano Allegri. The former Empoli man was left at home while the squad headed to the Far East for a preseason tour – along with Yacine Adli and Emerson Royal – which is an obvious sign that he can go.
And how much would we get? 15?
I think much less, it’s not going to be more than the clause we would have sold him to Marseille for, maximum 8-9M. We don’t currently have squad space for a couple of players though, so anything is better than him being unregistered but still at Milan.
I really feel sorry for Bennacer, he is a very good player but injuries ruined his career.
No injury we ruined his career.When Arsenal or some from England want him before few years about 50m we dont want sell so now we have nothing. He also dont have nothing. Milan is not good to be here more 1 or 2 years or player never go grow up
If we had sold him that time you would have criticized the management for being profit driven instead of building a core that will guarantee sporting success. You can’t eat your cake and have it
You are so so right
Probably not more than 10 million at this point. And we should just take the money and move on.
And here we go with comments being posted too quickly on this site. Once again.
Hopefully we will sell Benny….unfortunately since that injury with Inter in the semifinals he has not been the same. 10 mil sounds like a good deal for Milan when we consider his salary as well
Bennacer was great when he had 2 years at the club and earned deservedly. After the Scudetto season, it was downhill for him and after the last injury, he was totally done as a elite player…
Which incoming midfielder is better than benacer and adile,we dont have commanding midfielder,we want to rely on 40year modric
Use the 40m for jashari and sign
cheisa ,
Bondo plus cash for rovella,sign Kean
Then we are good to go
Leoni
Parisi
Nuno travrez
“Just” sign Jashari, Jovic and Doue and we are a scudetto team for next season
*Vlahovic
I like Benacer. But the manner he left the club last season ,putting us under tension was bad. Since then I lost interest in him
