AC Milan Blocks Theo Hernandez Transfer
AC Milan rejects offers from Real Madrid and Manchester United, securing Theo Hernandez with a contract extension until 2029.
AC Milan has made a definitive statement regarding the future of Theo Hernandez, rejecting high-profile transfer bids from Real Madrid and Manchester United. The French left-back, a pivotal figure in Milan's recent successes, has committed his long-term future to the club with a new contract running until 2029.
Real Madrid, where Hernandez had a brief stint early in his career, and Manchester United were both heavily linked with the defender. Speculation about a summer transfer intensified as both clubs sought to strengthen their squads. Reports suggested that Real Madrid aimed to bring Hernandez back as a solution to their left-back concerns, while Manchester United saw him as a perfect fit for their ongoing rebuild under Erik ten Hag.
AC Milan, however, was quick to shut down the transfer rumors. According to sources close to the negotiations, the Rossoneri held firm against the interest from Europe's elite clubs. Instead, they prioritized securing Hernandez's services with an attractive contract extension, which reportedly includes an annual salary of €6.5 million. This decision underscores the club's commitment to retaining its core players amidst external pressures.
Theo Hernandez's recent performance in the Italian Super Cup further solidified his value to the team. In a thrilling final against Inter Milan, Hernandez delivered a standout display, scoring a spectacular goal from a direct free-kick and assisting Christian Pulisic. His contributions were instrumental in Milan's victory, reinforcing his role as a cornerstone of the squad.
With this new contract in place, Hernandez's focus remains on driving AC Milan forward in both domestic and European competitions. The Rossoneri, currently vying for Serie A supremacy and Champions League success, view Hernandez as an indispensable part of their ambitions. The decision to reject offers from Real Madrid and Manchester United sends a clear message: AC Milan is determined to build a team capable of competing at the highest level.
As the summer transfer window approaches, this move not only secures Hernandez's future but also strengthens AC Milan's position as a club unwilling to part with its star players. For now, Theo Hernandez remains an integral part of the Rossoneri, with fans eagerly anticipating his continued impact on the pitch.
