AC Milan Eye Summer Sale of Bennacer and Adli Amid Saudi Pro League Interest
AC Milan may be preparing for further departures to the Saudi Pro League, with two midfielders, Ismael Bennacer and Yacine Adli, reportedly attracting interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. This follows the recent sale of Theo Hernandez to Al Hilal for a reported fee of €25 million, signaling Milan’s willingness to offload key players during the 2025 summer transfer window.

Both Bennacer and Adli have returned from loan spells—Bennacer from Marseille and Adli from Fiorentina—but neither appears to be in the immediate plans of head coach Massimiliano Allegri. Their uncertain status within the squad has made them likely candidates for transfer as the club reshapes its roster for the upcoming season.

Yacine Adli is expected to rejoin Milan for training but has only been assigned to the club’s developmental team, Milan Futuro, indicating limited prospects with the senior squad. Bennacer, meanwhile, has been granted an extended break, further hinting that his future may lie away from San Siro.

Given the lack of clear roles in Milan’s setup and the growing financial incentives from Saudi clubs, both players could be tempted to leave in search of more stable playing time and new opportunities. A transfer would not only benefit their individual careers but also help Milan generate funds for reinforcements in other areas.
