AC Milan is starting a new cycle. After a very disappointing season, marked by an 8th place in Serie has synonymous with non-qualification in the European Cup, the Lombard club wants to rebuild itself. With this in mind, Théo Hernandez has already left the club to join Al-Hilal, in Saudi Arabia. A departure concluded in bad words between the player and the management, which the French had not hesitated to notify in his farewell message.
In the direction of departures, Reijnders also joined Manchester City against 55 million euros, while Samuele Ricci arrived from the Torino against 23 million euros. At 39, Luka Modric also joined the Rossoneri, for what should be the last experience of his career. The Croatian arrives to relaunch himself a year from the 2026 World Cup, but may not land alone.
Modric pushes for Fran Garcia
As revealed ASAC Milan made French one of its priorities to replace Théo Hernandez. The Iberian media reveals that the positions were clearly closer between Real Madrid and the Italian club in recent hours … all under the approval of Luka Modric, who would have pushed the candidacy of his ex-teammate. Aged 25, Fran Garcia comes out of a more than honest season at 54 games, despite the status of weakened holder.
By staying in Madrid, the Spaniard also knows the tight turn that awaits him, while Alvaro Carreras has just signed against 50 million euros from Benfica and that Ferland Mendy wishes to stay. AC Milan had set a limit of 30 million euros to recruit a rear-left, and a priori, Garcia checks all the required boxes (its market value is estimated at € 18 million). His excellent Club World Cup with the Merengues (6 tenure in 6 games) would also have convinced internally, and he now remains to find an agreement with the player. This should not be problematic at Real Madrid, which is open to a departure.
