AC Milan have received another bid from Olympique Marseille for Ismael Bennacer in the past 20 minutes, and the Algerian is trying to see a bid through.
A move for Bennacer has come about rather quickly today, and Marseille are desperate to bring the Algerian to the club it seems, with Le Sport reporting that the French club have submitted a second bid.
The report states further that Bennacer is willing to make a ‘substantial financial effort’ to aid the chances of a deal, and is more desperate to move to France than he was in the summer, which is a shock considering how much Milan have believed in his return.
It is going to be a hard deal to finalise, as it relies on the Rossoneri making an addition to their own squad, however, the improved bid is making the French outfit hopeful it seems, with the report stating that the club ‘believe’ that it can be finalised tonight, with it likely to go to the wire.
Warren Bondo’s name has emerged for the Diavolo, and the club have posed the idea internally in the past hour about his arrival at the expense of Bennacer, but contact has yet to be made.
Should have sold him to some Arab club. There were talks about 50M+, now they get peanuts.
You’re delusional if you believe Milan were going to get 50m for him this summer while he was still recovering from a significant injury
Those guys were throwing absurd amounts of money at no-names.
I suspect that the original plan was to sold Bennacer in summer 2023, but he got injuried so Tonali was sold instead.
*to sell
I’m ok with them selling even if we don’t get anyone. Bennacer has not been the same player since he got injured and it is only a matter of time before he gets hurt again. I’d rather play a Futuro player if we can’t sign Bondo
Silvano Vos is a gem 💎
Benny wants to leave the circus and go to a club that will play CL football next term, can’t blame him, but he’s also just not the same player he was 2-3 seasons ago. A move to greener pastures might benefit all parties, but we need to have a replacement. I don’t care if it’s Bondo, but we can’t do the rest of the season with Tijji and Fofana as the only good CMs with Musah and Terraciano as the backups, and I guess RLC if he ever recovers.
