Ismael Bennacer stay at Milan and will be fully reintegrated into the technical project of Paulo Fonseca. With the closure of the Arab market, which had tempted the player for a long time, the Algerian playmaker remained in the red and black, after a pre-season lived on the margins and with the transfer that seemed the most likely solution. But this was not the case.
Bennacer, a pillar of Pioli’s Scudetto, is currently one of the highest paid players in the Milan squad, with a salary of four million euros net per season. As highlighted The Sports Gazettedespite having been considered transferable, is at the same time a player who could be useful to the Portuguese coach: he will compete for a place in midfield with Fofana and Reijnders, who are currently the starters as seen in Rome against Lazio.
Bennacer will also be included in the UEFA list that will be delivered today, with Luka Jovic as the most likely exclusion. Ismael’s permanence, the rosea emphasizes, is also linked to Rabiot’s failure to make a move, having declined a Rossoneri attempt: the Frenchman had higher demands and is now waiting for proposals from clubs looking for a free transfer, with Barcelona among the options and Turkey – like Osimhen – representing a potential solution after leaving Juventus.
