Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is interested in making a move for AC Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer, a report claims.
United are in the market for a new midfielder with Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic among the departures already confirmed, and as reported by Calciomercatoweb (via TEAMtalk), United are readying a move to sign Bennacer.
The 24-year-old joined from Empoli during the summer of 2019 and has racked up more than 100 appearances for the Rossoneri, and he was a very important cog in the Scudetto-winning side from last season.
The report mentions that Milan have set a €45m asking price for the Algeria international which does seem to be within United’s budget, though they would also be willing to include Donny van de Beek in the deal to reduce the outlay from a cash point of view.
Competition in Algeria also reported United’s interest in Bennacer last month, but Calciomercato.com believe a renewal and the possible alteration of his €50m release clause is in the pipeline.
