For a Milan who wants to buy and strengthen the squad starting from tomorrow 1st July, when the transfer market opens its doors officially, there is a Milan also considering potential exits. However, we are not only talking about surplus players, as can be Divock Origi the Lining Ball-Tournor of players who return from loan but who have no future with Fonseca, as may be the case Alexis Saelemaekers. In this case we are talking about medium-high importance AC Milan profiles so offers could arrive in the next few weeks.
Bennacer
One of these it is definitely Ismael Bennacer. The Algerian midfielder has experienced a very complicated season, spent more in the infirmary than on the pitch. At the beginning of the year he was calculated given the bad knee injury suffered in May 2023 during the Champions League semi-final. Upon his return, however, he never found continuity and was forced to stop on a couple of other occasions. Milan wants to strengthen the midfield and if an important offer were to arrive for Bennacer, this could be evaluated. According to what he writes Allsports this morning the Algerian’s agent, Enzo Raiolawas contacted by a emissary of Saudi Arabian clubs who might be interested in the Rossoneri number 4. Anyone can “override” Milan paying the 50 million clause but for now the club on Via Aldo Rossi is waiting: only if there is an offer will they start to think about it.
Thiaw
Another player who could leave in front of the right offercould be the German centre back Malick Thiaw. The 2001 class has shown some less than encouraging signs this season compared to his first year with the Rossoneri: he too was in difficulty from a physical point of view due to some injuries, but he always offered a fairly fluctuating return. On the trail of the former Schalke 04 footballer is the Newcastle United which has included the German in the list of potential central defenders to be purchased for next season. Also in this case, as for Bennacer, the right offer is needed and Milan, which theoretically has no need to sell, possibly will ask for the real value of the player, still young. According to rumors in recent days to free Thiaw at least 30 million euros are needed.
