Ismael Bennacer, currently not part of Milan's technical project and not called for the retreat, is seen as a concrete opportunity for Fiorentina. The club has resumed contacts and is considering a loan with an option to purchase. However, his net salary of four million and Milan's financial demands are significant obstacles.

According to Tuttomercato, Fiorentina is showing interest in acquiring Ismael Bennacer from Milan. The player has previously played under Stefano Pioli during his time at Milan. It has been reported that Marseille is not interested in securing the Algerian player's services from Milan, and Allegri is not planning to include him in the team's project for the upcoming season. Fiorentina is contemplating a loan deal; however, Milan is inclined towards a permanent transfer with a price tag of 12-14 million euros, aiming to clear a salary of about 4 million euros annually. Due to Financial Fair Play and salary cap constraints, Fiorentina finds it challenging to meet these demands, yet discussions between the clubs are ongoing.

Fiorentina, with Stefano Pioli who previously coached Bennacer at Milan, is interested in acquiring Bennacer, especially since OM is not exercising the buy option. Fiorentina is aware that a new loan is being considered by OM, but they hope to purchase Bennacer as AC Milan prefers a sale.

Fiorentina is reportedly interested in Ismaël Bennacer, as per the daily La Nazionale. They might consider making a transfer offer to gain an advantage over Marseille in securing the player.
