There may be some major developments regarding the future of Theo Hernandez, as Al-Hilal have stepped up their pursuit.
There are a couple of reasons why Theo’s time at Milan is approaching a crossroads. Firstly there is the fact his contract expires in just over 12 months, meaning a sale is likely without a renewal or the risk of losing him for free is magnified.

Then there is the fact he had a poor season in terms of performance levels, including questionable moments. This is why talks over an extension have been ‘blocked’ for months now, as per multiple sources.
Theo in Arabia?
According to Al-Riyadiyah, the Al-Hilal management have submitted an official offer to their counterparts at Milan to purchase Theo. The same sources indicated that they are waiting for a response to begin negotiations over a transfer fee.
Meanwhile, Gianluigi Longari – a journalist for Sportitalia – gave an update: “Confirmed: Al Hilal has started an assault on Theo Hernandez. Direct contacts with Milan and the offer to the Rossoneri is ready.”
Manuele Baiocchini spoke live on Sky (via MilanNews) and reported that there was a meeting at the headquarters between Manuel García Quilón and the Milan management to discuss the future of Theo.
The talks took place on Friday afternoon and the journalist noted that there is strong interest in the full-back from Al Hilal.
40M would be great
35M from Thiaw and the unfortunate price of f-ing up the season, Tiji, 60M + McAtee
if we can get this before July… Bayern and City can do that since they are gonna have 10 days to sign players before anyone else…
After this season, no need to keep players. Go for Kulusevski or Zhegrova, use Liberali and Adli
This not my Milan. The way the club is managed is pitiful.
Moving forward with Theo seems like a bit of a gamble regardless.
Will Allegri be able to get him properly motivated and focused again? Maybe? Is he past his best physically? Quite possibly.
If you’re highly confident he can get back to scudetto year Theo then by all means bring him back. But if you have lingering doubts then cut him loose and find the next one.
I can’t imagine Theo want to play in Saudi, and especially a year before World Cup. But I wish he would stay, if he can get the rest he needed and they somehow resolve the renewal (won’t probably happen)
I really hope this doesn’t happen. At his finest, Hernandez is one of the world’s best players, I want to be able to watch him at Madrid or Munich if I’m unable to watch him for Milan.
Can’t see it happening, surely he’d rather leave on a free after the World Cup?
Sell him for 60 and get Udogie for 40? Not that bad of a deal. Or De Cuyper for 20
A good news allegri is smart he can’t work with this lazy dude sale sale sale
He wants 7-8mil/season. Pretty sure Tare told him to f**k off.
Feel like theo is right about his offer, he makes the same as douchebags such as origi and chukwueze and has played more and given a lot more for the team. If he leaves bring in De Cuyper and sell Theo for 50M it’s the saudi’s anyway.
7-8 MIL. to watch balls fly over his head and to also watch players run by him ….. SELL ! now is the time……he is not the player he was !!!!!!
I read news from anto vitiello that management reject his request, he want same salary with leao 7m euro nett. Most likely he will leave this summer because next year are world cup
