Trabzonspor is reportedly "hard at work" to reach a deal for Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer prior to the Turkish transfer market closing, according to reports from Italy and Turkey. Clubs can still sell players to teams with open transfer windows even if the Serie A summer transfer market expired on Monday night. For instance, September 12 is the transfer deadline in Turkey.
This implies that some exciting Serie A deals might yet be finalised in the days ahead. Bennacer is one of those players who could leave Serie A, with reports from the likes of Calciomercato.com, Matteo Moretto and Turkish outlet Fanatik suggesting that Trabzonspor are ‘hard at work’ in an attempt to sign the Algeria international from the Rossoneri. According to Wednesday’s updates, Milan will not stand in Bennacer’s way if an appropriate offer comes in.
