Di Marzio: Leao ‘will stay’ but Theo is ‘vulnerable’ – Bayern and Real Madrid keen

AC Milan’s summer transfer window will be a two-sided affair. On the one side the management will look to improve the squad with signings, while on the other they will have to consider offers for the best players.

Milan’s financial position dictates that they do not need to sell any players unlike rivals and yet – as happened last year with Sandro Tonali – if huge offers arrive the club is willing not only to listen to them, but potentially to accept them.

There has been talk both in Italy and in his native France that Theo Hernandez is open to the idea of trying a new challenge and leaving Milan after what would be five years at the club, though it would of course take a huge offer.

Gianluca Di Marzio did a segment live from outside Wembley Stadium last night, which is the venue for tomorrow’s Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. As part of it, he spoke about the possibility of Milan selling players.

“Leao will stay. I have no signs that Leao will leave. Instead, signals are arriving from England, Germany and Spain for Theo Hernandez, of possible offers on the way. However, nothing concrete has yet arrived for him at Milan,” he said (via Radio Rossonera).

“Perhaps the most vulnerable big player on the market is Theo Hernandez, because he plays in a highly sought after role. It will depend a lot on Davies: if he stays at Bayern it is difficult for the Germans to sign Theo.

“If he goes to Real instead, Bayern can move. Likewise, Madrid could try to get Theo back if Davies were to stay at Bayern. I think this is the situation.”
