During the last January transfer window, Ismael Bennacer left Milan and moved on loan with an option to buy set at 12 million plus 2 million in bonuses to Olympique Marseille, who are now hesitating to make the Algerian midfielder’s transfer to France permanent.
This is reported by L'Équipe, which explains that the main issue is his high salary, which would place him in the bracket of a regular starter, a status that Bennacer has, however, lost in recent weeks.
What are Bennacer's numbers this season with Marseille in the French league?
The former Arsenal and Empoli talent joined Marseille on a loan deal from AC Milan in the previous transfer market window. Since then, he made 12 appearances in the French league under the guidance of Italian head coach Roberto De Zerbi. He also managed to provide two assists while playing 650 minutes in total.
