Bennacer’s agent responds to Saudi Arabia links: “There will be time” | OneFootball

The agent of Ismael Bennacer has downplayed rumours that he is set to make the move to a Saudi club some time in the near future.

It has been a strange season overall for Bennacer. The midfielder was out until November, came back, went to the African Cup of Nations and got knocked out in the group stage, while he is now finishing the Serie A season strongly having scored in each of the last two games.

However, there are doubts about whether tonight’s match against Salernitana at San Siro could actually be his last for the club. La Gazzetta dello Sport stated that a move to Saudi Arabia is a matter of time for the Algerian, even if he does not plan to go this summer.

His plans include a transfer in a second phase of his career, ideally in a couple of seasons, or in 2027, when his contract with Milan expires. However, surprises are not excluded because football is unpredictable and Saudi clubs have a lot of money to spend.

Enzo Raiola gave an interview given to Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) in which he spoke about some of his clients, among whom is Bennacer.

“He is an immovable pivot for Milan. And the boy is happy with the Rossoneri. Arab interest? No, he’s young, there will be time for Arabia.”
