Ismael Bennacer could have a big decision to face regarding his future this summer as offers might well arrive from Saudi Arabia, a report claims.
According to a report from Calciomercato.com, Bennacer knows that the time has come to give something more not only on the pitch but also off it in terms of leadership for Milan, especially given the departures of two experienced players in Olivier Giroud and Simon Kjaer.
Are these reasons enough to consider his stay next season certain? There is a variable that can call everything into question: Saudi Arabia. The report states that Bennacer is ‘very close to Arab culture’ and would be open to going there one day.
In fact, the former Empoli man sees his future in the Saudi Pro League but not right away. The idea is to move only starting from the summer of 2025 or potentially even in 2026, meaning he has at least another year at Milan in his mind.
The Rossoneri not a supermarket where the best players are on sale but they would like to increase the value of its squad with targeted purchases on the market. In the next few days Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani will have discussions with the agents of Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez over a renewal, then Bennacer comes immediately after them.
The Diavolo are ready to listen to offers for the Algerian but without forcing his hand because there is great gratitude towards a player who has contributed to putting Milan back on the map. This is why everything will depend on Ismael: his desire will be satisfied.
He cried, didn’t he 🤭
