GdS: Bennacer puts renewal talks with Milan on stand-by – the reason

AC Milan are hopeful of renewing the contract of Ismael Bennacer but things have been put on stand-by for now, a report claims.

The situation regarding the renewals of key players remains set aside for the time being as the Milan management wish to focus on the incoming market.

In addition to the Rafael Leao situation that will be dealt with in time, La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) report that Fikayo Tomori seems to be close to extending while a new deal for Pierre Kalulu will be talked about once the season has begun.

Bennacer is also a player that Milan wish to extend, but according to what filters from sources close to the situation, he is asking for more than the €3.2m put on the plate by Milan. For the Algerian, as well as for the others, they believe they might be able to earn a bit more than that if it were negotiated in the coming months (under new ownership).
