Experienced midfielders sometimes reach the end of their time at a club through mutual agreement. Short official statements mark the formal conclusion of a chapter. Players then become free to explore new opportunities elsewhere.
Those who have represented clubs across multiple countries continue their careers with valuable experience. Mutual terminations allow both parties to move forward without prolonged uncertainty. Well-wishes from the departing club are a standard part of such announcements.
AC Milan have confirmed the termination of Ismael Bennacer’s contract by mutual consent. The club issued a brief official statement on Friday.
“AC Milan can confirm the termination of Ismaël Bennacer’s contract by mutual consent. The Club would like to wish him all the best for the future.”

Earlier this summer, it was confirmed that he would head to Qatar once his contract situation was resolved. So, now he is free to make that move, after a statement confirming his exit this evening from Milan.
The Algeria international, who previously spent time at Arsenal earlier in his career, is now a free agent. Bennacer joined Milan in 2019 and made over 150 appearances for the Rossoneri, contributing to their Serie A title success in 2021/22. He also represented Algeria at major tournaments.
The mutual termination brings an end to his spell in Milan and leaves him available to negotiate with new clubs. Arsenal supporters will recall his earlier association with the Gunners before he established himself in Italy.
Further details on Bennacer’s next destination are expected in the coming weeks as he assesses his options. The 27-year-old retains the quality and experience to attract interest from clubs across Europe. Milan’s statement closes one chapter and opens the next in his career.
