CorSera: Bennacer ‘not convinced’ by Saudi Pro League offer – the difficult position

This summer, Ismael Bennacer is widely expected to leave AC Milan. However, it is not going as planned so far. 

There is not really any space for Bennacer at Milan; there is an aim to have six midfielders, and whilst this is possible with the Algerian, it is not desired. Instead, he would be sold, and another would arrive. After the January debacle, this is the hope.

For two windows in a row, the midfielder forced a move, with it proving successful in January. Marseille, though, had no interest in making his move permanent this summer, which puts everyone into a difficult position.

No interest

With an exit hoped for, he is available. But there has not been any European interest so far. In fact, the only offer on the table so far is from Saudi Arabia, which he has been unsure of for some time. A report this morning effectively shuts down the rumour, though.

According to Corriere della Sera, the midfielder is ‘not convinced’ by the prospect of moving to Saudi Arabia, as MilanNews relays. Like a lot of the incoming moves, it may not be a case of moving on the Rossoneri’s terms. Instead, it could be delayed until later.
