Signed during the last winter transfer window, the key player of the Fennecs has had mixed performances during his stint with the Phocean club.

According to Italian journalist Nicolò Schira, the French club has not yet made a decision on the Algerian international's case and will most likely wait for the last matches of the season to make a definitive decision on his future.

As a reminder, the purchase option included in Ismaël Bennacer's contract is worth 12 million euros, plus 3 million euros as bonuses.

Ismaël Bennacer's record with OM

The former Arsenal player has participated in 6 matches with Olympique de Marseille, across all competitions, without scoring a single goal or providing an assist.

The Algerian midfielder needs to improve if he hopes to convince the Phocean leaders to activate the purchase option.
