L’Equipe: Theo Hernandez wants to leave AC Milan – the reason

Theo Hernandez has decided that he wants to leave AC Milan this summer, according to a report that has emerged from his home country France.

Today’s edition of L’Equipe (via Radio Rossonera) has a segment dedicated to French players who could be on the move this summer, which includes Theo but also Marcus Thuram (who could be sold by Inter for a capital gain), Ibrahima Konaté, Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Clauss.

Theo has made decision to leave Milan when the summer mercato opens after five years at the club. The motivation, as per the paper, is linked to the player’s desire to take the next step in his career, a career which so far has seen Atletico Madrid B, Alavés, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and Milan.

With his contract expiring in 2026 and with renewal discussions still at a standstill, rumours about the departure of the French left-back are becoming more and more insistent.

To secure the signing of a player considered among the best in the world in his position, a bid of at least €80m must be sent to Milan in order to make them change their mind.

That is because while the player himself may be open to departing, Geoffrey Moncada and his collaborators do not want to sell him, aware of the value and importance of the 26-year-old.
