AC Milan have officially announced that Ismael Bennacer has extended his contract with the club by a further three years.
A statement on the club’s official website confirms that Bennacer has extended his contract with Milan until 30 June 2027, with the previous deadline having been set for June 2024.
Bennacer arrived at Milan from Empoli in 2019 and has made 129 appearances, scoring four goals, establishing himself as a central pillar of the midfield under Stefano Pioli.
The 25-year-old was a key part of the Scudetto-winning side last season, forming a double pivot with either Sandro Tonali or Franck Kessie, and this year he has establishing a formidable pairing with the former given the Ivorian’s exit.
OptaPaolo show just how important Bennacer is to Milan as they revealed that this season – when factoring in all competitions – the Algerian is the player with the most games played (24, level with Kalulu), touches (1507), tackles (66), recoveries (191) and duels won (125).
Overdue… But awesome!
Some good news for a change. Now we just need to get him a good partner in the double pivot.
Or we should actually stop playing with double pivot since Kessie isn’t a Milan player anymore.
Kessie was the reason why the double pivot worked for the last 2.5 years
Leao is very important next because his market value is huge. Also Milan must compensate bad last mercato with good next one .
I’m happy… I’m very happy with this.
I was hoping this day will come.
A bit of light after the last 2 games.
People who claim Milan will lost Bennacer for free gonna lick their spits from the floor 😂
But good job Maldini & Masara and cheers 🍻 for Bennacer for sticking with Milan when he could go to EPL club and get higher salary.
I’m glad, indeed this is a real Milan player despite many big offer from other grown league… One of Milan player right now… Kudos to U Bennacer.
HELL
FVCKIN’
YEAH!!!
Overdue and well deserved!
Good news. Next good news would be renewing Leao, sending saladmaker back to belgium and signing a reasonable right winger.
Bien dit !
Yeah!
