The dream is over. Arrived last winter with the promise of a new start and the support displayed of Medhi Benatia, Ismaël Bennacer will not be long -term at Olympique de Marseille. The Marseille club, after only a few months, decided not to lift the purchase option negotiated with AC Milan. The Algerian international had come to relaunch himself in a big French club, a project that was close to his heart. But the adventure has turned short, and the midfielder is already preparing to pack his bags for another championship.
Bennacer, direction Spain to relaunch?
According to information from journalist Ekrem Konur, the continuation of his career will be written in Liga. Real Betis is indeed in advanced discussions with AC Milan to finalize its arrival. The Andalusian club offers a loan with an option to buy between 10 and 12 million euros. This destination confirms that the Marseille page is definitely turned. OM therefore made the choice not to invest in a player who, despite an undeniable talent, did not provide the guarantees expected by management.
The observation is bitter, and it is a big disappointment, both for the player and for the Marseille supporters. The latter hoped to see the best version of the 2019 African champion, but his physical fragility and his difficulty in chaining high -level matches were right for the patience of the club. Tempty only eight times, he has never really had the opportunity to find the pace and weigh permanently on the game of his team. The bet is missed.
Bennacer, a missed bet for Marseille Olympique
A decimated midfielder
This departure is part of a context of total overhaul of the Marseille midfield, which risks being damn decimated in the coming weeks. In addition to the Bennacer case, that of Valentin Rongier waves behind the scenes. The former captain refused a proposal for an extension of contract and finds himself in fact on the transfer market. Sunderland, England, has already come to information. OM could therefore lose two of its experienced circles in a single summer.
It is a page that turns suddenly at the commandery. The club seems to have opted for a rupture strategy, favoring more reliable profiles physically to approach a demanding season with the Champions League. For Bennacer, the story ends with an unfinished taste. For OM, the major midfielder's project is just beginning.
