The player, on the margins with Allegri, is very close to the Croatian club, whose management is part of Zvonimir Boban (very close to Bennacer in his Rossoneri years)

Ismael Bennacer, Milan and Dinamo Zagreb have almost found an agreement for the transfer to Croatia of the Algerian midfielder, one of the players on the margins of Allegri’s Milan. Bennacer could greet Milan very early, even before the end of the week.

Because it doesn’t play

Bennacer this summer was excluded from the group of players who worked with Allegri from the tour in the East. Too much conditioned by accidents, perhaps too similar for position to occupy on the field in Modric, Jashari and Ricci, the three play of this Milan. Bennacer trained a little in Milanello, had a physical problem and waited for events. The 4 million contract per season, which Dinamo will not be able to pay in full, has weighed on its future. For this, Bennacer did not find a team in August. For this, it was thought that Arabia and Turkey would have been natural destinations. Instead a call came from Zagreb.

Scudetto and goals in the Champions League

Its Milan history thus probably starts in the end. A sad epilogue, for what it was. Bennacer arrived from Empoli in 2019 and was the protagonist of the Pioli cycle, with the 2022 Scudetto and the Champions 2023 semifinal, also marked by his goal at Napoli – Pesanta – in the quarterfinals. The first leg with Inter was the watershed. Bennacer in that game has hurt himself and, since then, he has not been him anymore. A cruel parable, from a fairy tale for children: a career to get to the top, one evening to lose everything.
