Theo Hernandez’s future remains very uncertain as AC Milan have been unable to reach an agreement on the contract renewal. According to a report, the left-back has also blocked a potential summer exit.
There is no doubt that the current season has been one of the worst of Hernandez’s professional career. He has been able to perform consistently, if at all, and there have been many uncharacteristic mistakes from him throughout.
Several factors are involved in the decline, including the uncertainty regarding the future. According to Daniele Longo, the renewal talks appeared to have reached a turning point in December/January, first with a meeting at Casa Milan and then a phone call after the Supercoppa Italiana win.
Then, however, the surprise €50m agreement between Milan and Como for the transfer of the left-back surfaced. The No.19 blocked the transfer and expressed his disappointment with the Rossoneri, which hasn’t made the situation any easier.
Furthermore, while Hernandez is a bit disappointing, Milan aren’t sure about committing to such an expensive contract given the performances this season. The dilemma will have to be resolved by the new sporting director, as the report continues, that much is clear.
Hernandez, through his entourage, has already made it known that he will remain at the club even without a renewal. In short, a summer exit has been blocked and this is putting Milan in a very difficult position.
