However, the next closest recruit could be that of the left side of AC Milan, Theo Hernandez.
The French international is about to be transferred to Milan, who seeks to get rid of his substantial salary after his failure to qualify for European competitions. The 27 -year -old was trained at Atlético Madrid before signing for 24 million euros with his rival, Real Madrid. This departure, and its subsequent criticisms in the Colchoneros, certainly arouse controversy among Atlético supporters.
Atlético Madrid concludes a personal agreement with Theo Hernandez
According to Matteo Moretto, Hernandez and Atlético have concluded a personal agreement. He wishes to return to his original club and envisages a transfer. Milan had concluded an agreement with the Saudi club Al-Hilal, but Hernandez refused a transfer to the Middle East.
Agreement between Atlético and AC Milan
Meanwhile, in Italy, the Republica, relayed by Guillaume Maillard-Pacini, reports that Atlético has reached an agreement for Hernandez. The Rojiblancos would pay the Rossoneri 23 million euros, plus the bonuses, for Hernandez. They also inquired about the left side of Juventus, Andrea Cambaso, according to Diario As, but it seems that Hernandez is their first choice.
It would be the first major investment in the left back post since the return of Filipe Luis de Chelsea to Atlético, a position which has become problematic for Diego Simeone in recent seasons. Javi Galan and Reinildo Mandava have proven themselves at times, while Simeone sometimes used Mario Hermoso and Yannick Carrasco as hybrid options on the left.
