The Algerian was a key player during the Scudetto season and amid Franck Kessie’s departure, his importance has only been highlighted this campaign. Without him on the pitch, Milan lose a whole dimension especially when it comes to vertical passing.
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport (via MilanNews), negotiations are underway and the parties could reach an agreement at around €3.5-4m. Bennacer has asked for €4m per year but optimism is filtering as the distance is very minimal.
As opposed to the Leao negotiation, Milan are very convinced that they can reach an agreement with the midfielder soon. A player of his calibre deserves that kind of salary and the parties want to continue their partnership together.
