Théo Hernandez, the French full-back for AC Milan, is going through a complicated period. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that after the Champions League match against Red Star, coach Paulo Fonseca took the lead in shaking up his player. On Thursday morning, a frank but respectful exchange took place between the two men, followed by a more general meeting at the club’s headquarters in the afternoon.
Remobilization required at Hernandez
Fonseca wanted to remind his left side how crucial his role is, both offensively and defensively. The objective is clear: find the Hernandez of his great days, capable of carrying Milan in decisive moments. This conversation comes as the Milan club is playing a pivotal phase of the season, with high stakes in both Serie A and the Champions League.
If Hernandez’s below-expected performances are worrying, they also fuel the rumors. Indeed, persistent rumors suggest an interest from Real Madrid in the Frenchman from next summer. This situation could explain a fluctuating concentration, which did not escape Fonseca.
Milan aware of Real rumor
The Milan club, which pays 4.5 million euros per year to the player, has renewed its confidence in him until 2026. But this call to order underlines that Milan do not intend to tolerate performances inconsistent. The message from the Portuguese coach is clear: “Think only about Milan”.
With key deadlines ahead, Milan cannot afford to let their left back lose momentum. Hernandez remains a key piece in the team’s ambitions. By remobilizing, he can once again become the expected leader and inspire his teammates. This start could be decisive for the rest of the season, both on the national and European scene.
