Bennacer reportedly close to joining Pioli in Saudi Arabia

Ismaël Bennacer may soon depart the Milan transfer market. Rumours of interest from Saudi Arabia have become so persistent that they are now considered concrete.

Al-Ittihad, a club in the Saudi Pro League that is finalising a deal with Stefano Pioli as their new manager, has reached out to Bennacer.

Pioli has reportedly already received Bennacer’s approval.

A source close to the negotiations said, “Bennacer has given the green light to join Pioli in Saudi Arabia.”

The key remaining issue for the deal to be completed is the final agreement between the clubs.

Further developments are anticipated as the discussions continue to progress.
