Real Betis is currently in negotiations in Milan to finalize the acquisition of a midfielder in response to the expected departures of Johnny Cardoso and William Carvalho. The presence of Real Betis representatives, Ramón Alarcón and Manu Fajardo, in Milan is linked to the potential signing of Ismael Bennacer from AC Milan. Bennacer, a 27-year-old Algerian international, has been excluded from Milan's preseason activities by decision of Allegri and is anticipated to leave the club. Real Betis is proposing a loan arrangement with an option to purchase for approximately 10-12 million euros, mirroring the terms Milan previously agreed with Olympique de Marseille in January, which the French club ultimately did not pursue. Bennacer, who has earned 50 caps for Algeria, has made 178 appearances for Milan since his 2019 transfer from Empoli, where he played 77 matches. His career initially took shape at Arles and Arsenal before his move to Empoli. This potential transfer is part of Betis's strategy to strengthen crucial midfield positions, with the club actively engaging in these negotiations in Milan.
