Hampered by a string of injuries, the "Fennec" was not particularly convincing with AC Milan and Olympique de Marseille during the last campaign.

This situation could play into Fiorentina's hands, as the club is considering signing the midfielder at a low price, with Bennacer still under contract with AC Milan.

According to the website “firenzeviola”, Ismaël Bennacer could follow in the footsteps of his former coach Stefano Pioli, who is reportedly on the verge of joining the Viola.

It is also worth noting that some French sources have mentioned Olympique de Marseille's interest in securing a second loan for the Algerian midfielder during this summer transfer window.
