Ismael Bennacer's contract renewal with AC Milan is not done yet. But, there is some optimism now that an agreement may be found with his agent Moussa Sissoko (who also represents Yacine Adli). In the break, there should be an important meeting to see if both parties can strike a deal for the extension of the deal that expires in June 2024.
As pointed out by Milannews.it, there was an agreement on 3 million euros net per season for the new contract. But, with the news of a new owner coming to the club (RedBird), the Algerian and his entourage decided to halt the negotiations in hopes to be able to ask for even more money in terms of salary.
Since then, the former Arsenal and Empoli man legitimised his requests with a series of strong performances. Now, he is a very important member in Pioli's system and lineup. For their part, AC Milan certainly do not want to lose their number 4. They are looking to reach an agreement with his entourage in the next few days for a renewal worth 4 million euros plus bonuses per season. As for the release clause, we shall see if it will be increased or eliminated.
