Sky journalist Peppe Di Stefano has explained the bizarre paradox surrounding Ismael Bennacer’s future at AC Milan after he was left out against Parma on Saturday.
It seems that a large part of the end of Milan’s summer mercato depends on what the developments will be regarding Bennacer, which translated means whether he stays or is sold before the deadline.
The Algerian knows that it will be difficult to get a starting spot this season more so than any other season with the arrival of Youssouf Fofana and the growth of both Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah.
There has been talk of the possibility of a move to the Saudi Pro League, while during the loss against Parma three days ago he did not even come off the bench, despite having started against Torino in game one.
Di Stefano spoke live on Sky and he was asked about Bennacer’s situation following his exclusion over the weekend, with his comments relayed by Radio Rossonera.
“It’s a different story for Bennacer [compared to Yacine Adli], we would have to find a solution on the figures for the transfer. I have a hard time thinking that Milan could let him go [for little], also because he has different characteristics,” he said.
“If a significant offer were to arrive, close to 30 million euros, Milan could think about selling him. In the last match he didn’t even warm up, this makes me think that it’s a market choice.”
