Bennacer sale cannot be excluded – the offer that Milan would consider

Ismael Bennacer’s AC Milan future is far from certain, a report claims, and there is an offer that the club would consider selling him for if it were to come in.

Bennacer joined Milan back in the summer of 2019 from an Empoli side that had just been relegated back to Serie B and while many did not expect much from him, he then developed into one of the Rossoneri’s most important players.

He helped form a midfield trio with Sandro Tonali and Franck Kessie during the Scudetto season, but then last season he suffered a knee injury in May that kept him out until the back end of 2023.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, Bennacer is still looking for consistenct. With his injury recovery and the African Cup of Nations it has been a disrupted season for him in 2023-24, and time is running out to rediscover his previously form.

Tonight against Roma he will start from the bench, something which might be indicative of his future. As specified by the CEO Giorgio Furlani, Milan do not need to sell any players to raise funds.

However, an offer of €30m for the former Arsenal man could be useful in increasing the summer budget. That bid must arrive first though, and only then can the reflections truly begin, while in the meantime the hope is that Milan get the true Isma back.
