GdS: Fofana’s Milan arrival could trigger double midfield departure – the details | OneFootball

Rumours about Ismael Bennacer’s future have been rife in recent months, and AC Milan could turn rumours into reality by signing a new midfielder, a report has suggested.

There can be no doubts about the quality that Bennacer possesses, but there can be doubts about his consistency. On several occasions this season, he has shown glimpses of his former self, but there has been nothing proven consistent enough.

Unfortunately for Milan and the Algerian star, though, his injury issues have become consistent, and now questions are arising regarding his position at the club. Of course, there is a talented footballer there, but his injury problems are gradually showing more, which is only hurting his chances of staying.

Especially when interest in the player is present, it puts the club in a difficult situation. More than anyone, the Rossoneri know about Bennacer’s talent, but how long can they gamble on the talent against the risk of injury?

Reports of a potential departure have been on the rise in recent months, and following a ‘four-hour summit‘ about his future, a departure seems a very real possibility, and the deal could be pushed if Milan were to sign a new player.

This morning’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (as seen below) suggests that Bennacer’s place in the middle would be lost, and the Rossoneri may move him on, especially given the offers from Saudi Arabia could pay for Youssouf Fofana’s arrival. In addition to Bennacer, the club would also be willing to hear offers for Yacine Adli.

It would act as another revolution in the midfield. Goodbyes have occurred with Sandro Tonali and Franck Kessie in recent years, and Bennacer could join them with the view of bettering the squad once again. However, whether this will actually be the case remains to be seen.
