Di Marzio: Atletico Madrid offer €15m for Theo while Real Betis enquire about Chukwueze

The focus continues to be on exits at AC Milan, with two LaLiga clubs reportedly showing interest in two players.

According to the latest from Gianluca Di Marzio, Samuel Chukwueze has ended up in the sights of Real Betis who have made an enquiry over the Nigerian. He made 26 appearances in Serie A last season with three goals and two assists.

Chukwueze recently spoke about the season that he had at Milan and strongly hinted at frustration over a lack of playing time, mostly due to the fact that Christian Pulisic had another stellar campaign. The Nigerian winger, who joined from Villarreal, never really hit the ground running.

For Theo Hernandez, on the other hand, the offer of €15m sent by Atletico Madrid was deemed too low. The Frenchman is also in the sights of Al-Hilal, but despite the strong interest from the Saudi club, the full-back continues to put up a wall.

Simone Inzaghi’s new side have in fact identified the Milan full-back as the ideal profile to bring into the team, and he absolutely remains the first choice. Al-Hilal, however, have Angeliño in their grasp as an alternative, and have submitted an offer of between €22-25m to Roma.

  1. Pulisic
    De Paul – Fofana
    Rovella

    would be instantaneously the best midfield if we use Tiji money and RLC (rumors being Sarri interested in RLC) to get Rovella and swap Theo for De Paul

    1. They will offer that by looking at how Theo’s form has been and the years left on his contract, if this was a Scudetto winning season he would easily garner 70m. However this wasn’t, and he doesn’t have much time left on his contract, similar to Dortmund selling Haaland for 60m when he was valued at more than double that.

  2. It’s simple.
    Théo isn’t going to Al-Hilal, just forget about it.
    He is on his last year of his contract and is coming out of a bad season, so no European club is going to offer north of 20M€.
    So either sell him for 15M€ to Atletico or another club or lose him for free next season.

  3. No choice I suppose with what is remaining of his contract. Take it. He has been wildly inconsistent. Rejinders is the one I’m angry about.

    Question is who are we going to sign to replace him? Because so far I see no real ideas.

    1. deCuyper, Truffert, Mykolenko (not happening), Zinchenko

      Udogie and Cambiasso are unrealistic under these clowns

      We could also try having Pavlovic+Bartesaghi as false LB, where in dispossession it would be like 4-4-2 and would transition into 3-4-1-2.

    2. You don’t attend board meetings so are highly likely not to see the real ideas.
      The real ideas are not what you see in the media, we only get to hear only about 40-50% of the real ideas.

  4. Yes they missed to sell him last summer for 70mio (stupid as they are) but for 15mio, then better keep him and give him the free transfer, theo is just great no way to replace him

      1. Exactly. Most of the people on this site just want to complain. It really doesn’t matter to them about what. It changes by the day. If they sold him then they would be complaining that Milan sell all their best players. They didn’t sell him and he has a bad season and now they are idiots for not selling him before…
        In my opinion Theo was the biggest problem on this team. The only thing worse than having no leader is having a bad leader and that’s what Theo was. His terrible attitude and laziness infected this club. Sell him for whatever you can get now. As long as they can find a LB that’s willing to play some defense and play hard that is already a positive change.

    1. He wasn’t worth anywhere close to 70 mil last summer. He’s been more or less shot since the Qatar WC.

      After scudetto year, probably so.

  5. Theo for 20m€ with bonuses is okey for me. He wants to go, we want from him to go, its win win situation… Same with Chuk, yes maybe he wants to stay, but the beat solution is his departure…for 12-15m€ with bonuses and we all are good.. and then we need to sell also Okafor , but his price is same around 12-13m€

  6. With Theos attitude i rather frustrate him on the bench for an extra year than accept 15m. Theo forgot the fact that it was ac milan that made him. His career was in shambles at madrid when he was brought by maldini and boban. Abeg may him go rest. Forza milan 4rm 9ja.

  7. The sooner Theo is sold the better. Theo doesn’t want to be part of the project and should not be allowed anywhere near the locker room. Not doubting his ability but the risk to too high in allowing him to stay and potentially divide the team. Get what you can for him and move on. Skill and ability are very important but a bad attitude and lack of professionalism will sink a season quicker than a Theo red card.

  8. it’s a fact that the management are all too weak to demand anything out of negotiation. it’s all coming back to them, their method of handling negotiation with a low-ball.

  9. Many rich club buying LB this summer but only ATM interesting with Theo and submit low offer 15m euro. Liverpool choose kerkez 50m euro , RM choose carreraz 70m euro , MC sign new LB 37m euro too. Theo market value dropped down and not worth his request 8m euro nett salary
