The return of Ismaël Bennacer to Olympique de Marseille moves away significantly within two days of the closure of the summer transfer window. Indeed, the Marseillais are about to recruit Arthur Vermereen (20 years)… in the form of a paid loan from the RB Leipzig. A formula that did not interest AC Milan too much to sell the Algerian to the Phocaeans.
But this is just a detail. Explanations. The financial aspect, the athletic situation, the doubt, the mixed impression left among OM supporters, nothing seems to go in the direction of Bennacer to sign a return to the south of France for this 2025-2026 season. Despite the fact that Roberto de Zerbi particularly likes his profile, the Olympians obviously prefer to turn to reinforcements which have more guarantees. And the choice fell on Arthur Vermereen.
The Belgian is about to engage with the vice-champion of France in the form of a paid loan up to 3 million as well as 2 million in performance bonuses. Also, there would be a purchase option of 21 million euros at the end of this freelash. This shows that Pablo Longoria and his board do not intend to pay the 12 million euros that the Milanese demands to sell the DZ which is also on the Radars of Trabzonspor (Süper Lig/Turkey).
In addition, there is this medical examination which precedes any transfer which may not be conclusive for Isma. Vladimir Petkovic’s statement, coach of Algeria Thursday at a press conference, is not made to reassure interested clubs. “Bennacer is in physical difficulty with zero preparation, he prepared with Milan B and had physical problems just behind. I hope he will come back to his level because Ismaël is very important for our selection, ”revealed the Driver of the EN. Not enough to dispel the mist.
