One of the situations that Igli Tare and the AC Milan management must resolve is Theo Hernandez’s future, and there are some replacements in mind.
According to Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), Theo’s time at Milan – which began in the summer of 2019 – is coming to an end. The decision was made after the meeting that took place a few days ago at Casa Milan between the directors and his agent Manuel Garcia Quillon.
There is too much distance between what Milan are willing to offer and the demands of the left-back. Therefore, finding an agreement seems a truly impossible task.
The paper goes on to explain that Milan have put forward a renewal proposal of €4m net per year which would actually be a pay cut given Theo currently earns €4.5m.
The former Real Madrid man and his entourage have asked for almost €8m per year in salary to extend the contract that expires in 2026. His poor performances accompanied by some behavioural issues that the management did not like lead to an inevitable sale.
Milan will therefore have to find a replacement for the 27-year-old. The three names on the radar are Destiny Udogie of Spurs, Junior Firpo who will leave Leeds on a free and Maxim De Cuyper of Club Brugge.
