Sky: Milan are focusing on Bennacer’s renewal during World Cup break

By Euan Burns -

AC Milan are working hard to secure the contract renewal of Ismael Bennacer during the current break for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, a report claims.

As has been reported on Sky Sport Italia (via Milan News) by Manuele Baiocchini, the Rossoneri have got to major renewals to work on and a clear order in which they will do them.

One is for Rafael Leao but considering his involvement with Portugal at the World Cup, the main negotiations for that will have to wait until after the tournament.

For Bennacer though, the negotiations can continue now because his Algeria side did not qualify for the World Cup.

The suggestion is that he will be offered a salary of €3-3.5 million which is a sizable raise on his current deal. The former Empoli man is thought to be more likely to sign an extension than Leao.

Various Premier League sides have shown an interest in signing him in the near future.
