There continues to be a lot of speculation regarding the future of Theo Hernandez, and a report has claimed that Bayern Munich’s interest is something to be worried about.
According to this morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via Radio Rossonera), Theo has been in the sights of Bayern Munich for some time and the talks over a renewal with Milan do not indicate any particular updates.
The segment on the Frenchman reads: ‘Milan must resolve the Theo case’. The full-back is very important to how the Rossoneri play regardless of who is the head coach, and he is one of the leaders of the dressing room.
However, the paths of Milan and Theo could part ways, because Bayern Munich is looming over him and the contacts with the entourage regarding a contract extension are yet to lead to major news at the moment.
The former Real Madrid man’s contract expires in 2026 and the salary demands are very high: Theo would like €8m net per season to extend his deal, which would make him by far the top earner in the squad.
The paper specifically lists the reasons that a farewell might become a reality: ‘The request for 8 million, the interest of Bayern Munich and the feeling of having arrived at the end of a cycle with Pioli’s farewell have effectively removed the white smoke so far.
‘The impression is that if the Bavarians put an irrefutable offer on the table, Tonali style (80 million), they would part ways’.
