The 27 -year -old knows the Colchoneros well, having made his classes at the club's training center before a controversial transfer to Real Madrid in 2017.
Hernandez then joined Milan in 2019 and, in the past six years, he has become one of the best left side in the world. But he now seems intended to leave the club this summer, and he would be available at a rather affordable price, his contract expiring in 12 months.
Atlético Madrid is about to recruit Theo Hernandez
Hernandez was also mentioned for a return to Real Madrid, but at this stage, a re-signature at Atlético is a more realistic possibility. Indeed, discussions took place between the club and its representatives, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
According to some information, Hernandez is available for an amount of around 35 million euros, an amount that Al Hilal, a Saudi Pro League club seems to invest. Their interest in the French international is advanced, which means that Atlético would seek to catch up.
It is unlikely that Atlético will reach an agreement due to the interest of Al Hilal.
For the moment, it seems difficult to overcome this difficulty. Atlético does not arouse sufficient interest to accept an offer of 35 million euros, but that could change if Hernandez gave priority to a return to the club where he started his career. But at this point, he does not do it, which makes his arrival in Al Hilal more likely.
Atlético has good reasons to seek a new left side this summer, given the difficulties encountered in this position in recent years. Hernandez would have been a good option, but it is logical that he was not too asked.
