International Algerian midfielder Ismael Bennacer continues to face frustrating summer as he searches for new club without success.

Bennacer still under contract with AC Milan until Jun 2027, finds himself outside the plans of coach Massimiliano Allegri. Despite his efforts to secure transfer, no club has yet met his expectations.

Failed Moves

The midfielder recently considered a return to Marseille but the French club's shown little interest prioritizing move for Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid.

Meanwhile Torino initially approached Bennacer but quickly withdrew their offer opting instead to secure Kristjan Asllani on loan from Inter Milan.

Limited Options

With European & even Arab clubs showing limited interest, Bennacer faces challenging situation .. a stark contrast to 2 year ago when he was considered one of the top midfielders in Europe’s big 5 league.

Market Value

At 27 years old, Bennacer’s market value's estimated at 15 million euro according to Transfermarkt. For now his future remains uncertain as Milan holds his contract and the summer transfer window progresses.
