AC Milan are probing the market for a new left-back as Theo Hernandez is destined to leave the club this summer. Per a report, Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko has been identified as the perfect replacement for the Frenchman.
Between Atletico Madrid’s interest and the expiring contract, Hernandez’s adventure at Milan seems to be over. He has enjoyed many good seasons with the Rossoneri but the 2024-25 campaign, it must be said, was far below his standards. And now, a replacement must be found.

According to today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (see photo below), Zinchenko has been on the Rossoneri’s radar for several years now, and this summer could be the perfect opportunity. Indeed, the relations with Arsenal are very good and the cost of the operation is reasonable.
The left-back has a price tag of around €15m, given his contract will expire next year, and Igli Tare has already been in London to work on the matter. Hernandez’s departure appears to be almost nailed on, so it’s crucial for the Rossoneri to find their new starter on the left.
The only obstacle is the high salary, but the feeling is that a compromise can be reached here. Zinchenko, after all, could become the second Ukrainian to wear the Milan shirt after Andriy Shevchenko.
Typical Milan management. If we’re gonna replace a player, make sure to get the worst one available.
He Is A Very Good Upgrade Take It Or Hold it
I’m ok with him as long as he is considered a backup and we get someone like Udogie or Calafiori. But knowing our leadership he would probably be a starter and rotated with Bartesaghi which in that case we are doomed
Another average a$$ player
Luka Modric played more minutes than him last season, at 39. And the year before, and another one, and so on. Even better, Zinchenko doesn’t have a single career season with 3000 minutes played in a season. Another amazing idea.
I’d rather play bartesaghi all season than playing this useless crybaby
What exactly have they watched to think this cripple would help the team?
Expecting no less from RedBird.
15 millions for this average old player ? 😆😆
Idiots…
As an Arsenal fan, please take this “l cry for Ukraine (fair play) AND I support Israel’s genocide in Gaza” twat.
I didn’t know Zinchenko was supporting Israel, then we have two of those in the team, as Modric have joined a Israeli startup whose co-founders support the ongoing genocide happening in Gaza
Best part is, you can swear, insult people, whatever. Gets posted without checking. Write a name of one country and comment needs to be checked.
So, Pedri and Gavi also? Big Israel supporters? Be serious.
Incredible, can’t even reply to that comment as it gets deleted. Sempremilan supports them way more than Modric.
For god sake take this conversation out of this forum. Its nothing to do with Milan and its not gonna help anyone. More than enough of this in the news and other forums…
I really hope they are going for Udogie and this is just a smokescreen because Zinchenko is not worth it. It’s like quantity over quality.
Tottenham is in London so I hope the target is Udogie. Otherwise I will be disappointed. It should be Udogie or De Cuyper. Smh
Common can’t they get better than this….well good job management keep it up….
Just give Theo a renew.
You can’t be serious about this guy… I hope it’s a smoke screen.
Chelsea SD: need a trash bag..?
Arsenal SD: wait.. what?
Chelsea SD: u’ll get good money too
Tottenham SD: haha.. i know where u mean..
