Will the adventure of Ismaël Bennacer continue at Olympique de Marseille? Nothing is less certain. Arrived on the Canebière this winter from AC Milan, as part of a loan with purchase option set at 12 million euros, the Algerian midfielder did not see his clause being lifted by the Marseille.

However, the vice-champion of France does not despair of preserving the 2019 African champion. However, the discussions between the Marseille leaders and their Italian counterparts do not seem, for the moment, to evolve in a good sense.

It gets stuck on the salary

According to information from Italian journalist Daniele Longo, the negotiations around a new loan from Bennacer are currently in a standstill. A divergence persists, especially around financial terms. At stake, the salary question, and more specifically the distribution of Fennec emoluments, estimated at 4 million euros per year.

However, it seems certain that the Arlesian no longer appears in the plans of the Lombard club or his coach, Massimiliano Allegri, despite a current contract until June 2027. The 27 -year -old remains coveted, especially in Saudi Arabia, where some clubs closely follow his file.
