AC Milan is in crisis. The elimination Tuesday evening in 1/16th final of the Champions League against Feyenoord Rotterdam was the drop of too much for the Lombards. Lombards who thought they had settled a few concerns by separating themselves from Paulo Fonseca at the end of December and appointing Sérgio Conceição. But the magic lasted only a few meetings for the Portuguese, which has put a large part of its players on the back. Some have already gone to the winter transfer window, like Alvaro Morata (Galatasaray) or Davide Calabria, who was exfiltrated on loan to Bologna after taking a beak with the former FC Porto coach . But they are not the only ones not to adhere to the methods of Conceição.
40 M € expected for Theo Hernandez
The Repubblica reveals that Christian Pulisic asked for his departure this winter after tensions born in Zagreb in C1. But the American denied. Youssouf Fofana does not really hang with him. Ditto for Theo Hernandez. But the Frenchman is not too able to complain since he is in the crosshairs of his club after his catastrophic match on Tuesday evening. After having received a first yellow card against the Dutch team (44th), he was expelled after a grotesque simulation in the 51st, leaving his team to 10 against 11. In stride, the Rossoneri were eliminated and Theo Hernandez took a wave of hatred and criticism from the tifosi, the Italian press and former players of the house.
In DE DE DE LALETS, the tricolor international, who will be fine on the part of his club after his stupid expulsion, also sees his future threatened. Yesterday, the Gazzetta dello Sport said the player under contract until 2026 will have no salary increase (he wants the same salary as Rafael Leão is € 7 million per year, editor's note), nor extension. His departure is highly desired this summer. Information confirmed this Thursday by The Repubblicawhich specifies that the price of the tricolor player has been set at € 40 million. This is the same amount as the Como offer refused by the French during the last transfer window. There Gazzetta dello Sport adds that it will be sold this summer or that it will leave at the latest next summer.
Threatened design, a sought -after DS
Regarding his playing time, his coach will decide. THE Corriere della will be Specifies, for his part, that he will have an offer to extend a contract but at the same salary as at present, just to make him understand that Milan will not make an effort to hold him. However, if the club can avoid a free departure, it will extend it to the conditions mentioned above. If the information is multiple, all the media meet to say that the door is wide open for Lucas Hernandez's brother. But he is not the only one to be threatened. This is also the case of Sérgio Conceição, which counts on a qualification for the next C1 to save his skin. But according to the GDSit will not count in the eyes of his bosses. It is not excluded that he would be thanked before the end of the season given the tensions between him and his group.
On the management side, where Zlatan Ibrahimovic should continue in his role as sports advisor, there will also be change. The Repubblica explains that the Rossoneri actively seek a new sports director to relaunch the machine. The names of Fabio Partici, passed by Juventus and Tottenham, and Andrea Berta (Atlético de Madrid) are cited. There Gazzetta dello Sport Confirms and adds the names of François Modesto, former of Monza, and Igli Tare. Milan believes that it takes an experienced strong personality capable of carrying out the sports project with an iron fist. Because elimination in C1 was experienced as a terrible blow by the Lombards, who thought they were going further in the tournament after having invested in the transfer window. This premature road trip also made them lose 11 M €, which the club would have recovered with a place in the next round.
