AC Milan’s hopes of offloading Ismael Bennacer have been dealt another blow, as he has rejected a move to Trabzonspor.
Bennacer spent the second half of last season on loan at Marseille after recovering from a serious muscle issue, but they chose not to exercise their option to buy him permanently and thus he returned to Milan.
It was made clear from day one of preseason that the Algerian was not considered a part of the plans of the new coach Massimiliano Allegri. Despite this, and several links with several clubs, his exit is yet to materialise.
No to Turkey
In recent days, it was reported by Matteo Moretto that the Turkish market might hold the key. Trabzonspor had tabled a proposal and Bennacer was reflecting on the idea, but now his negative answer has arrived.
Fabrizio Romano writes: “Ismael Bennacer keeps rejecting a move to Trabzonspor after proposal sent last week. No agreement with AC Milan midfielder at this stage, but the proposal is still available on the table.”
If Bennacer remains beyond the closing of the markets that are currently still open, a season in the stands potentially awaits, all while picking up a rather high salary of €4m net per season.
