AC Milan are open to selling their captain, but wants at least €50 million, with Real Madrid and Manchester United keeping tabs on his situation.
Theo Hernandez’s future at AC Milan is up in the air as the Serie A giants have slapped a €50 million pricetag on the France international amid interest from Real Madrid and Manchester United, according to Calciomercato. Hernandez is not having a particularly memorable season with the 2022 Scudetto winners, and his relationship with the club is at an all-time low.
Hernandez’s stock has dwindled in the ongoing season, but he still remains an enticing enough asset for the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United, who have kept a close eye on the Frenchman’s situation in Milan.
Real Madrid want to sign a top left-back ahead of next season after they were recently delivered a setback in their chase of Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies, who is reported to be closer to a renewal than an exit from Allianz Arena.
On the other hand, Ruben Amorim is believed to be looking at Hernandez as the perfect left-back for his 3-4-3 structure at Manchester United. The Red Devils have had to deal with Luke Shaw’s rotten luck when it comes to injuries, and as such, have shortlisted the France international to become integral to Amorim’s rebuild.
Hernandez’s contract expires in June 2026, but talks to extend it and raise his €4.5 million pay have come to a standstill. As per the Calciomercato report, Manuel García Quilon, the player’s agent, has said that he hasn’t had much communication with the club lately. The Rossoneri previously valued Hernández at €80 million, but his price has now decreased as a result of recent subpar performances. Milan, however, remain adamant that they won’t let him go for less than €50 million.
Milan will take on Red Star in the Champions League on Wednesday, December 11, at the San Siro. After losing their opening two games, Paulo Fonseca’s men have notched three wins in a row and look poised to qualify for the next round, although it remains to be seen if they manage to achieve a direct entry to the Round of 16 by finishing in the top eight.
