CM: ‘Tension’ arises with Milan ‘annoyed’ by Bennacer situation – the background | OneFootball

There are some fireworks on the final day of the window as Ismael Bennacer apparently wants to leave, which has irritated that AC Milan management.

Calciomercato.com report that after their summer attempt Marseille have prepared a second offensive for Bennacer. The coincidences are obvious: both came about on the last day of the mercato and with the same formula, a loan with option to buy.

The only difference is that for this transfer market session the French club have decided to make an effort for the loan with a €1m fee, then the option being €10m. This is not enough for Milan, who in turn would be forced to return to the market to look for a new midfielder so late in the window.

However, the report adds that Milan are ‘annoyed’ both by the way Marseille are acting and by Bennacer’s pressing request to be sold. The Algerian has already reached a full agreement with the French club and is pushing hard to join up with Roberto De Zerbi.

This has created ‘tension within the Rossoneri’. Milan have not yet accepted Marseille’s offer for two reasons: the midfield depth is already very thin and Marseille’s offer is considered too low. The negotiation is progressing with many difficulties, Bennacer wants to go to Marseille.

Yesterday’s change at half-time in the derby also sounds like Sergio Conceição’s first rejection. These are ‘frantic hours’ – the Diavolo must also resolve the Bennacer case.
