In summer, Atletico Madrid showed interest in acquiring Ismaël Bennacer from Milan and had some contact with the club. However, no agreement was reached as no club met Milan's requirements.

Details emerged explaining why Bennacer's move to Atletico Madrid did not happen.

Atlético de Madrid made a last-minute attempt to sign Ismael Bennacer from AC Milan. The transfer failed as Atlético could not guarantee Bennacer's full salary and Milan preferred a sale over a loan.

Ismael Bennacer was a potential transfer target for Atletico Madrid during the last transfer window. However, the interest did not materialize into a transfer. Bennacer has now suffered a severe calf injury during a training session with the Algerian national team, which will sideline him for 90 days.
