Algerian international Ismail Bennacer has come under the radar of the English club Fulham, which sent one of its scouts to watch the Greens’ midfield in the opening match of the African Cup of Nations against Angola last Monday.
Bin Nasser started the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw, before being substituted in the 80th minute.
According to the British newspaper “Daily Mirror”, Fulham will have to allocate a huge sum of money to include the Italian Milan player, and it must also take into account the desire of the player who may prefer to stay at his club in order to participate in the Champions League.
Bin Nasser (26 years old) has a contract with Milan, extending until the summer of 2027.

Bennacer joined Milan in 2019 from Empoli and became one of the team’s most important players since his arrival and contributed to them winning the Italian League title for the first time in 11 years.
Bin Nasser played 46 international matches with his country’s national team and was chosen as the best player in the African Cup of Nations in the 2019 edition, which was crowned “Desert Warriors.”
The midfielder has participated in 5 matches in the Italian League this season so far, having just recovered from knee surgery that he underwent at the end of last season.
Fulham currently ranks 13th in the Premier League table.
