AC Milan announced the renewal of Pierre Kalulu yesterday and now they are working on tying down other key players, including Ismael Bennacer.
Today’s edition of Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) writes that Kalulu has secured a big pay rise from €400k net per season to €2m per year, but now the focus shifts to other extensions such as Rafael Leao’s, whose situation remains very complex.

The management also want to conclude the extension of Ismael Bennacer in a timely fashion given that – after arriving in the summer of 2019 from Empoli – he has become an increasingly central player for Stefano Pioli and now it seems the midfield cannot do without him.
This season in particular the Algerian has shown leadership qualities that make him one of the immovable starters of the current team. His contract expires in 2024 and in order to renew he wants €4m net per season, a figure he feels justifies his importance.
There is the desire on both sides to find an agreement, but Milan will not be able to count on the Growth Decree as the 24-year-old already had his tax residence in Italy already at the time of his move to the Rossoneri from Empoli, so the gross amount of the operation will be larger.
Pay him….after all Origi earns dat already
LOL. Good point.
He deserves
We need him and in summer we need to leave for FREE Bakayoko, Diaz, maybe we should sale Rebic and give Origi one more chance. At summer we need again to buy cheap and young players.
Surely still within our range. More importantly in this contract renewal is to get rid off the 50 mil release clause.
4 mill is nothing for what he does. Please extend before his agent starts all these negotiations with other teams. Also, triple the release clause.
Sorry but this is becoming a joke we pay 4m for fricking Bakayoko Dest has a 6m salary DEST!! And we are playing mcscrooge with Benacer who is our most important player right now if we don’t renew Benacer good luck finnishing top 4 next year ..
.
Yes, just do it! Don’t be Stupid. Banna is one of our most valuable players. He is top level. He was when he came and even more so now.
Just do it guys, he is worth it. Engine room.
Sign him now, I am willing to pay 40 Euros a year to make this happen.
Pay him it inportant in dat team
I mean, I don’t believe anything Tuttosport write, but still hope there’s a way to get this over the line. If it’s anything close to that, I hope we can make a deal happen because he’d be an easy asset to sell on if ever needed, something that wouldn’t necessarily be the case if Leao got his requested numbers.
He deserve up yo 5.5 mil, he are one of most important player to the team.. without him our centre midfield will be from nearly to 0 creativity..
Kupi odma prije nego poskupi !! ide svjetsko prvenstvo i cjena dogodine možda bude duplo !!
Yes for Bennacer, no for Leao
If his demands are really 4M than it’s an easy decision. Maybe there are other things being discussed (like release clause) and that’s why it’s dragging for so long.
4 M is not that much
He is good one but not the best
He deserves that
Bennacer is so modest, he asks only 4m. He deserves 7-8m
Bruh, Bennacer @ 4m for 4 years would be around max 32 to 36 million gross agent’s commissions included. Clubs shouldn’t pay an agent beyond 25% of Wages IMO. If we remove resale clause of 50m, Isma is worth 70M in a year or two. We bought De ketelaere @ 36M. I’d take Isma all day over De K. World Class Box to box mids are rare man. Casemiro to Utd was 70m fee @ 10.5M salary GBP. Milan must realise Isma isn’t worth less than half of Casemiro..can’t believe they haven’t renewed tbh..
