Pedulla: Bennacer ‘intent on continuing career elsewhere’ – Saudi clubs get green light | OneFootball

Ismael Bennacer has now fully opened up to the idea of moving to Saudi Arabia and AC Milan are awaiting developments, according to a report.

Alfredo Pedulla has provided an update on his website in which he claims that Bennacer has given the green light to the idea of moving to the Saudi Pro League. There have been a couple of meetings and also a couple of expressions of interest.

First the midfielder was made aware that there are two or three clubs looking for him from Saudi, then they reeled off the names and offers. Bennacer is ‘intent on continuing his career elsewhere’, and he would only change his mind if a team from the Premier League came forward.

Milan do not consider him unsellable and could even come down considerably from the clause of €50m in terms of what they would demand, knowing his sale would generate almost a pure capital gain and would allow them to spend the money elsewhere.

Youssouf Fofana is the main name for the midfield but Milan must somehow speed up the Bennacer case because there are other clubs that are keen on the objectives they are chasing and therefore procrastinating too much could see them miss out.
