Enzo Raiola, who represents the Algerian midfielder of AC Milan, Ismael Bennacer, was interviewed by Tuttosport.

When asked what happened in the summer regarding a missed potential transfer in the final hours of the window, here is finally an explanation, as relayed via Milan Press:
"The situation is simple. There were some chats with a few clubs, but he (Bennacer) never questioned his desire to stay at Milan. I also remember that the Arab market is not open every day, and not everyone can go to Saudi Arabia."
Enzo Raiola continued to talk about Ismael Bennacer's situation:
"The Rossoneri also wanted him to stay, and it’s hard to choose another team in Europe. Life in Milan is good, the club is important, and it’s not easy to leave Milan."
