Dinamo Zagreb plans to exercise its purchase option for Algerian midfielder Ismael Bennacer from AC Milan after strong performances since his summer loan move. The Croatian club pays 25 percent of his 3.8 million euro annual salary and can buy him permanently for 9 million euros before the loan ends next summer.
Croatian media outlet Sportvijesti reports that Bennacer demonstrated exceptional quality despite not being fully fit. His composure and field vision match technical standards rarely seen at Dinamo in recent years. The team's form dropped noticeably after his 69th-minute substitution against Osijek.
Club president Zvonomir Boban brought Bennacer to Milan from Empoli in 2019 and may leverage that connection to finalize the transfer. Milan relies less on the player whose contract expires in the summer of 2026. Dinamo could also activate the clause to resell him later for profit under its financial sustainability model.
