The 25-year-old made 129 appearances for Milan after transferring from Empoli in July 2019. He and Pierre Kalulu are the only players to have appeared in all 24 of the Rossoneri’s games this season.

Bennacer’s contract was set to expire at the conclusion of the upcoming season. Still, Milan technical director Paolo Maldini said this week that a new agreement was very certainly in the works.
