According to Luca Bianzin, a Milan reporter for La Gazzetta dello Sport, Marseille ultimately failed to sign Bennacer.
According to Luca Bianzin, in order to sign Bennacer, Marseille needed to sell some players, but they did not do so, which also made their attempt fail.
Marseille had previously offered Milan an offer to rent Bennacer, but it was rejected by Milan. Since then, they have been trying to find a solution to reach an agreement with Milan, but they have not been successful.
