Milan are still working to agree a new deal with midfielder Ismael Bennacer but the two parties have not agreed how much his salary will be increased by yet.
The 24-year-old Algerian midfielder is a key part of Stefano Pioli’s squad in the Lombardy capital and will continue to play an important role. His current deal expires with the Rossoneri in 2024 and both parties are happy to move forward together, but things are not proving simple.
As detailed by Calciomercato.com, Milan’s most recent salary offer to Bennacer sits at around €3m net per season, a substantial raise from his current €1.7m net wages. The 24-year-old wants more than double what he currently earns, however, figures that the Rossoneri aren’t particularly willing to pay.
The two parties will meet again in the coming weeks and the club want to tie him down to a new deal before the year ends.
Bennacer has scored four goals and provided seven assists in 113 appearances across his three years with the Rossoneri.
