Marseille are reportedly among those interested in signing Bennacer. But, the negotiation is becoming increasingly difficult. Despite De Zerbi's approval, the timing does not allow the deal to take off. In France, the transfer window closes at 11 PM CEST, an hour earlier than in Italy.
An agreement on the transfer terms needs to be found: Milan's financial demands currently do not match those of the French club. The Rossoneri are open to a loan, provided it is costly and includes a substantial fee tied to the purchase.
Ismael Bennacer's salary is too high for Marseille...
The second obstacle is related to wages, with Bennacer earning a net salary of 4 million euros net per season. Currently, Marseille's highest-paid player is Emile Hojbjerg, with a net salary of 3.4 million euros per year. It's a race against time; if the situation clears up, Milan will attempt a final move for Adrien Rabiot, who is currently a free agent. This was relayed via MilanNews.it.
