A new profile has emerged in AC Milan’s hunt to sign a starting left-back: Luca Netz of Borussia Mönchengladbach.
While the management keep wishing to avoid the word, a real revolution has begun at Milan. After Tijjani Reijnders was sold to Manchester City, another big name is ready to despite: Theo Hernandez, heading to Al-Hilal.
The French full-back is expected in the next few days in Saudi Arabia, where he will be welcomed by Simone Inzaghi, the club that recently eliminated City from the Club World Cup. Thus, a replacement is needed.
The directors are already moving to identify the heir to the former Real Madrid man. Among the names monitored are Maxim De Cuyper and Destiny Udogie, but in the last few hours a new profile has emerged as per MilanPress: Luca Netz of Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Having come through the academy at Hertha Berlin, where he made his Bundesliga debut in January 2021, Netz moved to Gladbach a few months later. He has made almost 100 appearances for the first team to date.
A natural left-footer, 1.84m tall, he is considered one of the most promising young players in his role in Germany. His value is between €12-14m: an accessible figure, especially when the money from Theo’s sale is banked.
