Ismael Bennacer Rejects Trabzonspor Move to Stay at AC Milan

Ismael Bennacer has turned down Trabzonspor’s offer. His future at AC Milan is now uncertain as the Turkish window nears its end.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Trabzonspor offered to take Bennacer on loan. AC Milan agreed, wanting to lower costs by moving players not in their plans. Bennacer has been a departure candidate, especially after returning from Marseille. Despite their interest, Bennacer said no to Trabzonspor. The offer remains, and talks might continue until September 12, when Turkey’s transfer window closes. Reports confirm that Trabzonspor has made an offer to sign Ismaël Bennacer.

AC MILAN AND TRABZONSPOR: SEASON SO FAR

AC Milan’s Serie A season started with mixed results. They are currently sitting mid-table, having lost their opening match and struggling defensively but winning the second match 2-0 to Lecce. Recent updates indicate that AC Milan aims to improve their league position after finishing eighth last season. Bennacer has played just once this season. With Ardon Jashari injured, Milan might rethink Bennacer’s role. Trabzonspor is second in the Turkish Süper Lig with 10 points from four games, close behind Galatasaray. They’re strengthening their squad to aim for the title.

WHAT NEXT FOR BENNACER AND MILAN?

AC Milan will play Bologna next, who are the current holders of the Coppa Italia trophy, and a candidate to fight for the European spots. Milan wants to stay in the top four and close the gap at the top. If Bennacer remains, he may get more game time due to midfield injuries. Trabzonspor will play Gaziantep next. With the transfer window closing soon, both teams must decide if Bennacer will move. Bologna and Beşiktaş are watching him, but no formal offers exist.
