Al Gharafa, a Qatari club, is pursuing Ismael Bennacer after the 28-year-old Algerian midfielder's talks with another Qatari club, Al-Shamal, ended due to a disagreement over certain contractual clauses. Al Gharafa has increased its communication with the player, and the transfer could be completed soon. Before a transfer can happen, the final details regarding the termination of his contract with Milan must be defined. In the meantime, discussions with Al Gharafa are continuing, and an agreement appears to be nearing. Bennacer joined AC Milan in August 2019 and has earned 56 caps for Algeria, scoring 3 goals. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €8.00m.
