CM: Training absence and denied rumours – Bennacer’s strange situation at Milan

Ismael Bennacer has become the subject of mystery as the midfielder has been absent from training with AC Milan but not due to an injury, a report claims.

Calciomercato.com speak of a ‘piece of news that could further change the dynamics of Milan’ in these final days of the transfer window, namely that Bennacer did not train at Milanello with the rest of the team for the third consecutive day.

Bennacer’s absence from training is not attributable to an injury. In a very delicate phase of the transfer market, the Algerian midfielder has probably made this decision because he already has his mind on a new professional adventure.

Al-Qadisiyya, Algerian sources say, are tempting Bennacer with a pharaonic salary of almost €20m per season (Ismael currently earns just over €4m at Milan), but then their director came out and denied any negotiations.

It seems that any Saudi club will have to convince Milan with an offer of around €30m, which is below the release clause of €50m in Bennacer’s deal.

In the event of a sale, Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani would go after Manu Kone, who will leave Borussia Monchengladbach and has been admired for some time, since he was at Toulouse.

    1. You don’t even have any proper info about what’s going on and you already decided that he’s the villain of whatever is going on..
      I hope to see him play for many many years to come in red and black.

        1. Yup that too… and besides the fact that he proved disloyal in the past, he lacks in both tactical and techical skills… never understood you people who like him… had 1 good season

          1. ‘call me ishmael’
            That’s reason enough to keep and play him.
            Ishmael is a mezzala, pioli been playing him in double pivot or AM. He did what he could and always gives 100% for the jersey. That’s a lot more than some of our “stars” give

  1. “Strange situation” bs…he is being pushed out just like Tonali,just like Kalulu…until this mfs don’t dismantle and sell everything that Maldini build they won’t rest…

    1. That’s what I’m saying too, and it’s probably going to happen every two years just for the profits. Then again, i still don’t get why they bought E. Royal and paying extra to get Tammy while sending Saelemaekers

  2. Reports this morning indicate he’s back to training. Milan weren’t able to offload him. Which isn’t a bad thing really. He could work well in a 3man mid.
