AC Milan could be tempted by some of the big bids that they are expecting to receive for Theo Hernandez this summer, according to a report.
This morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) reports that the negotiations for the renewal of Theo’s contract are proceeding slowly and thus all options remain on the table at the moment as we approach the opening of the mercato.
Bayern Munich are eyeing the Frenchman who, according to the Roman newspaper, ‘doesn’t seem to have this desire for Milan anymore’. It could therefore be the summer of evaluations and farewells, not helped by the upcoming European Championship.
In the 2024 summer transfer window, Theo Hernández could represent for Milan what Sandro Tonali was last year. With the difference that, this time, the month of June cannot be considered a ‘free period’ to talk to Bayern Munich.
Any negotiations would have to be on the back burner while the tournament goes on in Germany, but ‘if there was really something like 80 million euros on the plate, it would be impossible to remain indifferent. Especially since Theo Hernández’s contract expires in two years’.
The sale of Theo – as painful as it would be to lose a leader of the squad – would thus ‘set fire’ to Milan’s incoming transfer campaign, which at present already has around €100m to make purchases.
In Bavaria, meanwhile, they know that Alphonso Davies is heading towards Real Madrid and thus they could have the money to launch the €80m bid needed to tempt Milan to sell.
Should the full-back do well at Euro 2024, Bayern could also be more inclined to shift their economic reasoning to the figures requested by the Rossoneri. With all that money, Milan could then buy two new left-backs – a starter and his deputy – both of a high standard.
