DBasia.news – Serie A club AC Milan has the potential to let go od Ismael Bennacer. The midfielder is reportedly on Manchester United’s transfer radar.
Bennacer can be said to be a crucial figure for the Rossoneri. He became Stefano Pioli’s mainstay in the Milan midfield.
His ability as a defensive midfielder is above average. As a result, many clubs are interested in the player.
Calciomercato claims that one of the clubs interested in Bennacer is Manchester United. The Red Devils are interested in brining the Algerian national team player to Old Trafford.
Report claims that Manchester United are serious about signing Bennacer as Casemiro’s back-up.
The Brazilian national team midfielder was recruited last summer. However, MU thinks that Casemiro needs a coating as they do not have a pure defensive midfielder in their team.
In addition, they prepared the coating as Casemiro’s successor as Casemiro is aging. MU saw Bennacer perform well at AC Milan as a good candidate for their team.
According to the report, Manchester United’s chances of landing Bennacer in 2023 are most likely.
The midfielder’s contract at AC Milan expires in 2024. So far he has not agreed on a new contract with Milan.
United are trying to persuade the midfielder not to renew his contract at Milan so he can move to Old Trafford in the summer.
Manchester United will have to dig deep into their pockets to secure the services of the 25-year midfielder.
Milan reportedly only wants to sell the midfielder in the range of 40 million Euros in 2023.
