There is a growing urgency from AC Milan to sell Theo Hernandez, and whilst he is not against the move, there is a stalling point.
In a dream world, Milan would not be in this position, in any way. Theo would be better, and not want to leave, or clubs would be lining up to pay more than what the club currently seeks. Instead, there is a growing fear about the situation.
This morning’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes that interest from Atletico Madrid is low, at least at the current price. So, the only feasible option is Saudi Arabia, when Simone Inzaghi wants the defender at ‘all costs’.
The two clubs have already agreed on a deal, so the holdup is on the player himself. Inzaghi has already called him personally, which could have had a positive impact. However, his family are not sure about moving to the Middle East, which is where the deal currently is not going to happen.
Al Hilal are rushing to find a solution, which is currently not being found. Time is running out, as they want the player before the closing of the FIFA transfer window on Tuesday. Should this not happen, the deal will probably not, and then the real panic starts to set in.
