AC Milan are watching developments over at Bayern Munich closely, knowing that their summer transfer window could transform dramatically based on a renewal.
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) talks about Milan’s plan to back the new head coach Paulo Fonseca with some investment, namely in the attacking department where two strikers could arrive for a combined €70m.
The plan for Fonseca is then clear: sign Joshua Zirkzee as soon as possible so he can begin to work with the squad from the beginning of July. There are about 20 days from the raduno to leaving for the United States tour.
Milan know that a fair bit of their summer also passes through Germany and not only because of the European Championship: there is a decision to make by Bayern Munich that can change the fate of Theo Hernandez.
Bayern are fighting a battle with Alphonso Davies, their starting left-back who for now is not renewing and is looking to Spain to understand if Real Madrid will really make an offer.
Milan’s market also depends on this, because if Davies were to be sold then the Bundesliga giants would turn to the French full-back. In the face of a huge offer Milan could sell Theo, and that radically changes that plans and the budget to carry them out.
Foolish management
It’s only media speculation. For now. Calm.
I thought the plan was to cease being a fan of this club?
Theo Hernandez is not for sale at all costs
There’s only one Theo, don’t put a price. Make him unsellable. Renew him at 7 mil/year and give him a 120 mil release clause. Also try to renew Mike at 6.5 Mil/year. 0 stars should be sold.
Bayern have Lucas Hernandez, so it will be very tempting for Theo to play with his brother in same club & as first choices for both of them.
If we keep Milos Kerkez, we might not too worry now. But now ? We never really have a LB close to Theo’s performances. We can’t rely on Florenzi too much due to his injuries record always pretty long each season.
Davide Bartesaghi hadn’t play in senior stage much.
Best call is Filippo Terraciano as LB, but he didn’t do well in his debut season at AC Milan.
So we should keep Theo no matter the cost. The transfer market for a good LB also so high.
Valentine Barco already a squad rotation at Brighton, Ian Maatsen already a UEFA Champions League dream team and Chelsea should keep him.
Will we gamble at Andrei Borza, a wonderkid LB from Romania ?
Bayern HAD Lucas Hernandez. Lucas plays for PSG.
