Theo the ‘most likely’ star to depart Milan this summer – the situation

AC Milan do not have to sell a star to invest this summer, but there is still a chance that a key player will leave the club, and a report has given some insight into who is the most likely to leave.

Perhaps there is still a hangover of sorts from last summer when fan favourite Sandro Tonali departed. Perhaps, though, there is no smoke without fire, and there is a chance that the events of last summer occur once again.

Reports suggest that the club are under no pressure to sell during this mercato, and Milan can, and more importantly, will invest during the summer, and given they know the areas to target, budgets may already be in place for certain areas.

However, if offers too good to refuse arrive, they will have to be considered, as would be normality across the footballing world.

As Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News) reports, two players have been linked with moves away from the club – those being Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan. It is the former, though, who could be more likely to leave.

The paper suggests that the market is ‘less lively’ for Maignan, and Theo is receiving concrete interest, making a deal impossible to rule out.
