Theo Hernandez is heading towards the ‘final stages’ of his time at AC Milan, and now information on his possible destination plus replacements is emerging.
As Quotidiano Sportivo report this morning, Theo has been pretty much an immovable starter under both Paulo Fonseca (who did bench him briefly for attitudes he did not like) and Sergio Conceicao. Despite this, the management are ready to move on from him.
The elephant in the room is his contract, expiring in June 2026. The player has always let it be known that he wants to renew through his agent Manuel Garcia Quilon, both publicly with the comments outside Casa Milan and by rejecting Como’s offer in January.
Milan instead accepted the figure close to €50m proposed by Como, who the Frenchman will face again on Saturday at San Siro. A completely different tag (almost €100m) was going around this summer when Bayern Munich were linked.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, when asked about star players, has always said: “Everything under control, everyone’s happy.” Geoffrey Moncada, on the other hand, recently stated: “We can’t afford to lose players for free.
In recent times, after the vague optimism leaked about an agreement around €5m net per year plus bonuses (the player receives €4m currently), things have come to a standstill. In the meantime, Chelsea and Manchester United have shown an interest.
Theo’s meeting with Paolo Maldini could soon become a symbol of Milan’s past, with the club looking at replacements. Maxim De Cuyper (Club Brugge) and Tyrick Mitchell (Crystal Palace) are the latest names, but the sporting director and coach must be chosen first.
