Under contract with AC Milan until 2026, Théo Hernandez made a strong choice for his future. A decision that makes debate.
The future of Théo Hernandez finally becomes clearer. While a return to Atlético Madrid had been mentioned for a time, the French left side (27) should indeed leave AC Milan during the summer transfer window. But not to reach the Colchoneros. It is a new exotic challenge that would await him.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the tricolor international should spin in Saudi Arabia. He would have given the green light to a departure for Al-Hilal, who would now negotiate with the Italian club. No amount is currently mentioned for the transfer of the defender, under contract until 2026 with the Rossoneri.
The specialized site Transfermarkt estimates its market value at 35 million euros. Such a sum would allow AC Milan to achieve a small added value since the Lombard training had started it in Real Madrid for 22.8 million euros in 2019. Given the situation, it would be a great operation.

“I am shocked by the word mercenaryhe said. The players are not stupid, they adapted to what has become of football. (…) When there are 500 agents, you have to feed everyone. They removed the whole concept of pleasure and it reached the players. Who find themselves not wanting to refuse anymore and we don't even want them. »»
