Ismael Bennacer seems likely to leave AC Milan this summer, but it is proving to be a test to sell him, unfortunately.
There has been interest floating in the Algerian all summer, and there have been a few offers. However, the midfielder remains, having no interest in a move to Saudi Arabia despite previously being open to the idea.

It has become a bit of a frustration; nevertheless, it seems there could be some movement in the final few days.
Bennacer’s situation
Trabzonspor have been in contact and have made an attempt for the midfielder in the past few days. Though it remains to be seen if he will have any interest in a move to Turkey, especially whilst suggestions of Serie A interest remain.
In fact, when a move to Juventus could be on the cards, it is understandable on a competitive level.
Today, Fabrizio Romano (via MilanNews) reports, though, that the midfielder has had ‘no particular confirmation’ of the interest from Turin. He is being considered, it seems, but there is nothing concrete just yet. So, he has asked Trabzonspor for a little more time.
A deal may go right to the wire, with the Turkish club not dropping back just yet, but Bennacer wants to see if there will be any other options.
The reason Bennacer hasn’t been sold is … Bennacer. Guess he doesn’t want to play anymore that badly …
But if he has offers from Turkey and Saudi Arabia, there is time for that. He can wait until Monday evening and see if he gets an offer from Juventus or Bologna before the window ends. If not he can go somewhere else. Their transfer windows don’t close on 1st or 2nd of September. Would you wait to see if you can move to Juventus or Bologna or go to Trazbonspor? Honestly.
He can wait to 9/11 when the Turkish window closes.
So he is in no rush. Other than he needs a club to play WC.
