Ismaël Bennacer

Recent reports from April 2026 indicate Dinamo Zagreb will not exercise a purchase option valued at €15 million, with other reports from early 2026 citing the same option at €10 million or €12 million. In summer 2025, AC Milan's asking price was reportedly €12-14 million amid interest from Fiorentina. Around the same time, Al-Ittihad was linked with offers of €10-12 million, and Real Betis proposed a loan with a similar €10-12 million purchase option. Olympique Marseille, who paid a €1 million loan fee in February 2025, chose not to activate their €12 million purchase option in June 2025. Older reports from August 2024 mentioned a €50 million release clause and an asking price of at least €40 million, figures which appear outdated given more recent market interest.

Our valuation for Ismaël Bennacer is driven by a consistent pattern of reported transfer values from mid-2025 to early 2026. Multiple sources cite buy-out clauses, offers, and asking prices in the €10 million to €14 million range from clubs like Dinamo Zagreb, Fiorentina, and Al-Ittihad. This range is significantly lower than historical valuations, a decline we attribute to the player's recurring injury problems and high salary, which have reportedly caused several clubs (Marseille, Dinamo Zagreb) to decline their purchase options.
