Algerian Ismael Bennacer, midfielder for AC Milan, has become the focus of Saudi league clubs during the ongoing summer transfer window, amid the possibility of his departure from his current team.

Journalist Daniele Longo from 'Calcio Mercato' mentioned that Bennacer is among the names likely to leave Milan before the transfer window closes, with increasing interest from Saudi clubs.

Previous reports indicated that Al-Ittihad club is keen on signing the player, especially with the uncertainty surrounding his future after his loan period with Olympique Marseille ends this summer.

Bennacer participated with the French team in 12 matches during the second half of the 2025 season, successfully assisting two goals and showcasing impressive performances in midfield.

The Saudi league continues to attract global stars from major European leagues, having signed prominent names in recent years, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kanté, and Riyad Mahrez.
