‘Loan is free’ – Moretto details how Bennacer’s Milan exit is structured

2 months ago 18

This morning, Ismael Bennacer left AC Milan with a deal in Croatia awaiting him. However, nothing has really been said about the deal.

Late last night, there were suggestions that Milan could make a deal with GNK Dinamo for Bennacer, and by this morning, everything was done. Of course, there is an asterisk next to this, though. As of right now, the midfielder has not completed a medical.

In Dinamo’s statement, the deal has been done, but it will not be made ‘official’ until the completion of those tests. So, there is a potentially nerve-racking wait to find out the future of the Algerian. Hopefully for his sake, the deal can go through.
