Bennacer joins Qatar's Al Gharafa after leaving AC Milan
Algeria's Ismael Bennacer has signed with Qatar's Al Gharafa, the club announced on Monday. The 28-year-old French-born midfielder ended his contract with AC Milan by mutual agreement. Bennacer was instrumental in Algeria's 2019 Africa Cup of Nations victory, but was not selected for their World Cup squad. He joined AC Milan from Empoli in 2019 and helped the team win the 2021-22 league title. However, knee injuries and fitness issues have limited his appearances for Milan since 2025.
