Ismael Bennacer is leaving AC Milan for GNK Dinamo Zagreb after a quiet summer of transfer speculation, www.naijnaira.com reports.
For months, his name floated around the market without serious offers, leaving fans uncertain about whether the Algerian midfielder would move.
Italian outlet Sempre Milan explained that Bologna and Juventus monitored him but never made an official approach, while Turkish side Trabzonspor tried but never sealed his approval.
Dinamo Zagreb have now confirmed Bennacer has joined them on loan, with an option to make the move permanent next summer.
“GNK Dinamo are delighted to welcome Ismael Bennacer,” the Croatian club stated, marking a bold step in their midfield reinforcements.
The 27-year-old is expected to undergo medical tests in Zagreb before the deal becomes fully official.
It remains unusual that Dinamo announced the signing ahead of the medical, but the confidence from both clubs suggests it will go through smoothly.
No details have been disclosed regarding the buyout clause, though reports indicate AC Milan may receive far less than what they initially valued the midfielder at.
Bennacer’s future in Croatia now depends on how quickly his medical and contract are finalized.
