CM: Milan and Bennacer awaiting signals from Saudi Arabia – the latest

AC Milan could yet make one more signing to complete the midfield department, a report claims, but everything revolves around Ismael Bennacer’s fate.

Calciomercato.com report that a large part of the end of Milan’s summer mercato depends on what the developments will be regarding Bennacer, which translated means whether he stays or is sold before the deadline.

The Algerian knows that it will be difficult to get a starting spot this season more so than any other season with the arrival of Youssouf Fofana and the growth of both Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah, so he is reflecting on the possibility of a move to the Saudi Pro League.

Milan are still waiting for written offers from Saudi clubs for Bennacer. The most interested club are Al-Qadsiah who have Nacho and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with some intermediaries working to convince the player over terms and then to turn to Milan.

What emerges though is that the Saudi side plan to offer less than half the value of the €50m release clause that is in Bennacer’s contract, which is obviously not what Milan would hope to earn from a player who has still been very important to them.

With the money from the possible sale of Bennacer, the Rossoneri would likely make another signing but it is unlikely to be Manu Koné of Borussia Mönchenglabdach. Yesterday the Frenchman said goodbye to the fans because he has an agreement with another club, but it doesn’t seem to be Milan.

    1. Bennacer has not been the same since his injury. Forgetting the past, he is a worse player than RLC, Reijnders, Fofana, and Musah. Sending him packing would allow Milan make some money and continue to develop Musah and Zeroli.

      Milan aren’t Manchester City, they need to make money to spend money!

      1. Should we sell Morata as well? He is injured and after he comes back he wont be the same player as he was before. And Mike. Sell sell sell. Tomori, sell. Thiaw, sell.
        I think we should just sell all players who were injured, why wait for them to regain form. Sell sell sell. Buy new ones. Then sell those when they get injured..

        We need to sell to make money so we can spend that money.
        Sell, sell, sell

          1. Too be honest, that seem to be the mindset of some people here. Players getting injured for a length or have a couple small ones during a season and people be like “sell” just for the sake of it.
            Let’s see the scenario. Pavlovic surprises with a great season now, and suddenly getting a lengthy injury the next season.

          1. It isn’t close? So mike doesn’t get injured and comes back with questionable form? Or thaiw, or Tomori? Chuku last season was gaining form (finally) and then he got injured. Sell away. Same with okafor.
