AC Milan Informs Theo Hernandez He Can Leave This January

AC Milan has reportedly informed Theo Hernandez and his agent that the French defender can leave the club during the upcoming January transfer window if a suitable offer arrives. This decision comes amidst growing tensions within the squad.

The situation escalated after head coach Paulo Fonseca criticized some players for “not putting in enough effort”. Hernandez was notably left out of the lineup during Milan’s recent goalless draw against Genoa in Serie A. Fan frustrations also surfaced as chants were directed at Hernandez, who serves as one of the team captains.

Manuel Quilon, Hernandez's agent, met with Milan's management on Tuesday to discuss the defender's future. While Quilon assured reporters that Hernandez “wants to stay” and sign a new contract, the atmosphere at Milan suggests otherwise.

According to Marco Conterio from Tuttomercatoweb, Milan’s stance is clear: should a substantial offer arrive, Theo Hernandez will be allowed to leave. This news has alerted Manchester United, who are said to be the most determined club to secure the French international's services.

As Milan prepares for a pivotal transfer window, Hernandez’s potential departure could signal major changes for the Italian giants.
