Ismael Bennacer is looking forward to another season as a protagonist with AC Milan, and in the meantime the issue of his renewal persists.
Calciomercato.com recall how ‘new’ arrival Yacine Adli revealed in his first interview with Milan TV that he is looking forward to playing alongside Bennacer, a player that he believes is making a name for himself.
“I know him very well. We have the same agent in common. I think he is a very good player and one of the best midfielders at the moment. What he does is truly extraordinary and I’m sure he can do even more, showing everyone that he can make a name for himself. in the world of football,” he said.
Milan are working to renew Bennacer’s current contract which is expiring in 2024. With the farewell of Franck Kessie and the arrival of Adli plus Tommaso Pobega’s return from loan, the feeling is that Bennacer completes the department with his skill set.
He formed a complementary pairing with Sandro Tonali and is considered a resource that Milan want to protect. Bennacer earns about €1.7m net per season currently and is asking for €3.5m to sign an extension. Maldini and Massara have every intention of helping him grow further, and removing his €50m release clause too.
At the moment the parties are not at an agreement, but the idea is still to continue in the same direction.
