Not Bellingham, but Liverpool will be in dispute with Chelsea over this player

A recent report from Milan has revealed that Premiership side Liverpool are keeping a close eye on what Ismaël Bennacer is doing in the Italian capital, as the Algerian midfielder's terms for a possible renewal with the Serie A champions, who currently sit fifth in the table with 14 points, are clear.

Ismaël Bennacer who is an important part of the Algerian national team has unleashed chaos in Italy with a solid request for his salary, which according to reports, the 24-year-old midfielder receives a salary of 1.7 million euros net, to which his demands led AC Milan to make him a proposal of 3 million euros, which was discarded by Bennacer's agent, who sent a counter proposal of at least 4 million euros net on the table of the "Rossoneri".

If Bellingham or Joao Gomes don't arrive, Klopp already has a plan for Liverpool

This demand is based on the supposed offer that Liverpool FC would make for the former Arsenal and Empoli, making clear the need for Jürgen Klopp to reinforce that area of the field, where the club has struggled so much this season, as it is worth mentioning that players like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keïta, Curtis Jones and even Fabio Carvalho, are indefinitely out of the Red's squad due to multiple injuries.

Bennacer has had an important start to the 2022-2023 season, as in all Serie A matches, he has played minutes and even scored a goal on matchday two against Atalanta. The number "22" of 'Les Fennecs' stands out for being a clean player in his game, as in these seven matchdays he has not known any card, both yellow and red. In the UEFA Champions League, he has been outstanding in maintaining his club's unbeaten run with four points at the top of Group E.

<strong>Liverpool and Chelsea want Bennacer </strong>

Ismaël Bennacer is currently on international duty with his national team, where he played 65 minutes in Algeria's 1-0 win over Guinea. Prior to his return to AC Milan, Bennacer will be back on the pitch to join his teammates against Nigeria on Tuesday 27 September at the Miloud Hadefi Olympic Complex stadium in Algeria.
