As is the case regularly, interest in several of AC Milan’s star players is high, and this summer, the club are bracing themselves for offers for several of their prized assets. However, a French journalist has offered some reassurance about the future of Theo Hernandez.
Reports in recent months have suggested that Milan could sell one of their stars this summer, and this was reaffirmed when it was suggested that they might have to make sacrifices to improve their squad in the summer mercato.
One of the players who several clubs are interested in is Theo Hernandez. The Frenchman is often at the heart of what the Rossoneri do, which has been shown when he has represented the side as the captain and when he hasn’t.
It is not just as a leader where he excels, though. On several occasions, Theo has proved to be the focal point of the Diavolo, providing vital moments of inspiration when the side needs it most, and this has several clubs interested. However, the Rossoneri are not looking to sell unless a ‘crazy’ offer was received.
L’Equipe journalist Valentin Pauluzzi spoke to MilanNews about Theo’s importance to Milan and offered his opinion on how his future may go.
“On Maignan, I would wait because, for example, Theo was in the same situation when he renewed: he was already one of the best in his role, with clubs ready to offer him twice as much as Milan could offer, but in the end he chose the sporting project. Who knows if Maignan will make the same choice in the end, because in any case, the group component is important. I don’t think it is easy to leave Milan because of what has been created. Of course, it’s not the Milan of Ancelotti’s era, but even here there is a good sense of belonging.”
Theo is another player that the big names of Europe like…
“The same applies. By now he’s a captain on a par with Calabria. Maldini’s farewell was eventually metabolised, you could think that the players could ask themselves some questions but in the end, it all went away.”
