Romano: Bennacer ‘already said yes’ to Marseille move with Milan pondering decision | OneFootball

Ismael Bennacer seemed an option to depart AC Milan in the summer, but nothing came to fruition, partially due to his injury. Now, Marseille have returned to the scene, and their interest is still present.

Before the summer mercato, Milan were debating the possibility of a mid-star sale. Instead of a Rafael Leao or Mike Maignan departure, the club would instead look at the sale of the Algerian midfielder to boost funds.

However, nothing ever materialised in the first mercato of the season, and when Bennacer eventually found himself on the injury table, all interest went quiet. When December rolled around, the club stated that the midfielder would be a ‘new signing’ for the Rossoneri, which suggested that he would be off the mercato. It seems this is not the case though.

Today, reports have stated that the 27-yar-old is a target for Marseille, and Fabrizio Romano reports that the midfielder, like he did in the summer, has already ‘said yes’ to the move, showing his eagerness to move to France once again.

Marseille, as the journalist states, are just awaiting a ‘not easy’ decision from Milan at present, with a loan (including a €10 million buy option) already submitted earlier today. It is now just a waiting game.
