AC Milan worried about Bennacer

According to a recent report from Calciomercato, AC Milan are worried a club could trigger the £43 million buyout clause for Ismael Bennacer.

The clause was included as part of his contract when he first made his way over to the San Siro, and now, they believe it could unlock the key to him leaving – potentially in the summer.

The 23-year-old midfielder first joined Milan on a permanent deal back in 2019 from Empoli and since then, he hasn’t looked back. He even had a spell with Arsenal but was barely given any time on the pitch throughout his stay there, although we wouldn’t rule out the Gunners coming back in for him to make up for lost time.

A lot of this will come down to whether or not Bennacer believes in Milan as a sustainable club who can really go places. In the end, though, money talks, and that’s a realistic sum for a lot of European clubs to meet.
