Ismael Bennacer makes surprise move to Dinamo Zagreb

Ismael Bennacer has swapped the San Siro for Zagreb, joining Dinamo on loan from AC Milan with an option to buy.

The Algerian midfielder is set to undergo medical tests in Croatia before finalizing the deal that could define the next chapter of his career.

At 27, Bennacer carries a wealth of experience and success. He has worn Milan’s shirt 137 times across Serie A and the Champions League, lifting the Scudetto in the 2021-2022 season. His memorable strike against Napoli in last year’s Champions League quarter-finals remains a symbol of his influence on big nights.

Bennacer’s journey has always been marked by determination and growth. From shining at Empoli to claiming the best player award at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, he has consistently shown his value. His short stint with Olympique de Marseille further underlined his ability to adapt and thrive in different leagues.

Dinamo Zagreb believe his arrival is more than a transfer. For them, Bennacer represents ambition and the quality needed to compete locally and on the European stage.
