Milan desperate to keep Bennacer as Chelsea and Arsenal interested

Milan are still going with negotations over a possible extension for Algeria international Ismael Bennacer, but the situation is not going all that well for the Italian side, as they have not yet managed to make big strides forwards in their goal.

The Serie A side's annoyance means excitement for several European sides. According to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', Chelsea and Arsenal are hoping that their pull attracts the Algerian player so they can get him on board.

As well as the English capital's sides, there are more teams in the Premier League who are interested in signing him, as is the case with Champions League runners-up Liverpool.

What is proving to be the key area for disagreement between Bennacer and Milan is the salary that the player is after, as he wants to earn around £3.8 million per year. Despite this dilemma, his contuinity is a priority for the Milan side.
