Marseille Eyes Return of Ismael Bennacer Amid Midfield Reinforcement Plans
Marseille is reportedly considering bringing back midfielder Ismael Bennacer from AC Milan just months after declining to buy him permanently. The Ligue 1 club, managed by Roberto De Zerbi, aims to strengthen their midfield following a disappointing start to the season. Marseille prefers a loan deal for Bennacer, while AC Milan leans toward a permanent sale to boost their transfer budget.
The interest in Bennacer comes after Marseille's narrow loss in their Ligue 1 opener, which highlighted the need for reinforcements in the squad. Bennacer had previously spent the latter half of last season on loan at Marseille, where he made a solid, if not standout, contribution over 12 appearances, helping the team secure a runner-up finish and qualify for the Champions League.
From Milan’s perspective, Bennacer remains a valuable asset. However, the club’s desire to raise funds for new signings makes them more inclined to sell the midfielder outright. This difference in priorities has complicated negotiations, with Marseille pushing for a loan arrangement and Milan favoring a permanent transfer.
Bennacer’s future now hangs in the balance as both clubs weigh their options. Marseille believes his experience and consistency could provide crucial depth, while Milan looks to maximize his market value. The final outcome will depend heavily on how far Marseille is willing to meet Milan’s demands in the ongoing summer transfer window.
