The agent of AC Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer recently rejected a contract proposal from the Rossoneri, a report claims.
As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, an offer was made by Milan that would have seen Bennacer’s salary increase to €3 million per season.
The agent, Moussa Sissoko, feels that the Algerian midfielder is deserving of a greater pay increase and talks are set to continue.
There is a will from both the player and the club to come to an agreement and carry on together. His current deal does not expire until 2024 so whilst the issue is not pressing, it would be wise to address it now as both parties are doing.
He currently earns around €1.7m per season but wishes to be paid more than double that in his new deal.
Frederic Massara and Paolo Maldini are expecting to be meeting with Sissoo at the end of the transfer window to try and resolve the issue but there is interest in the player.
Premier League side Liverpool have been linked in recent days.
