It was reported on Monday that Hernandez is currently considered ahead of the Swiss international in the pecking order, while Milan have four left-backs currently on the books.
We reported back in June that offers were being invited for the 26-year-old, while last week the player’s brother even responded to speculation about a potential exit.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday however (via MilanNews.it), Rodriguez is considering some proposals that have come from Germany after finding out he is a deputy to Hernandez.
Schalke 04 are named specifically as admirers of the former Wolfsburg man, with their new head coach David Wagner targeting an upgrade at full-back.
Rodriguez arrived at San Siro in 2017 for a fee of €15m plus bonuses, and has gone on to make 88 appearances in all competitions for the Rossoneri, amassing four goals and six assists.
