AC Milan: towards an extension of Bennacer’s contract?
African champions during the last edition in Egypt, the Fennecs of Algeria continue to present a high performance and a great level of play, despite their premature elimination from the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
This is also the case of the talented Algerian player Ismael Bennacer. Indeed, the native of Arles presents an excellent job and a high level with his Italian club, AC Milan. Reason why the so-called management of the club is preparing to enter into negotiations to extend the contract of its Algerian maestro, reports several sports media.
After Hernandez, Milan discussed the Bennacer affair
According to the same sources, this decision came just after reaching an agreement between the leaders of AC Milan and Theo Hernandez, relating to an extension of the Frenchman’s contract.
In the same vein, the media in question made it clear that Theo Hernandez’s contract should be signed soon, with a two-year extension, until June 2026 and a significant salary increase.
After closing the French international’s file, the Italian club’s management can then focus on extending the contracts of Algerian Ismael Bennacer and his teammate, Portugal’s Rafael Leao, the sources said.
Towards a two-year extension for Bennacer?
Knowing that the leaders of the Italian club were to offer the Algerian a two-year extension with an increase in his salary, given his high performances presented since his arrival in August 2019 from Empoli.
As a reminder, Ismael Bennacer and his teammates will be there with the Lions of Cameroon, as part of the play-off matches for the qualification of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
A double confrontation (round trip), scheduled for the end of March of the current year, which already promises to be fiery, in particular that the Greens will be faced with a great challenge: to get up and regain the path of victories and successes.
