Ismael Bennacer could yet be a transfer target in these very closing stages of the summer transfer market.

Bologna’s interest in the Algerian midfielder is confirmed but it has not yet led to the acceleration in the negotiations that was expected today, even if the parties have remained in contact.

We can also add that Juventus head coach Igor Tudor’s appreciation, reported several hours ago of the 27-year-old former Marseille player, is confirmed.

Juventus would still like to add a deep-lying playmaker to pair with Manuel Locatelli, given that other operations at the moment appear rather costly.

The discussions will continue, Milan are ready to entertain offers and would have no problems with opening up to a deal under the right conditions – and for the right amount.

Now it will depend solely on Juventus, though the situation must be followed without forgetting Bologna.
