With Theo Hernandez’s position dwindling, AC Milan are considering alternatives for now and the future and one could arrive in January.
There have been several issues in the Milan squad this season, but it could be argued that none have been as decisive as Theo’s. The Frenchman has struggled to perform at his best and after seasons of being a differential, he has flipped the switch.
Instead of being a devastatingly good attacking wing-back, he has become a shell of his former self, struggling to attack with a presence and his already questionable defensive self has only further regressed.
It has still not been decided why he has struggled this year and there could be several reasons, so Fonseca is trying to make another point, with another game on the bench possible this weekend against Roma.
Alex Jimenez, Davide Bartesaghi and Filippo Terracciano are the current understudies, however, it can be questioned if any of them are a ‘true’ replacement for the full-back and this is why the club are still looking at the mercato.
It seems the leading option is Fabiano Parisi, the Fiorentina defender who could leave in January. According to Calciomercato.com, the Fiorentina defender could be heading to Milano depending on the ‘possible inclusion’ of the Diavolo, who are evaluating the defender as a Theo ‘alternative’.
I think Jimenez proved everyone wrong. The question is, can he be the solution to RB role? If yes, Parisi makes sense if not, I’d rather us focus on Commuzo.
We already have the talents there. Bartesaghi, Alex Jimenez, terraciano. We only need the striker prolific and playmaker to pulisic back up and some another right wing. Chukwu isn’t useful
What a fukcing mess the search for theo’s understudy has been!!!! We have read about it for the last 2 or 3 years and now that we have found jimenez, the search goes on …. these people are simply mad.
About theo – fonseca’s vendetta goes on and on and on. The rebels (leao, tomori and theo) have been humiliated enough as fonseca’s vendetta on the last two goes on and on ….. never ever imagined fonseca would be such a vindictive coach!!!!! If he were a successful coach that could possibly redeem his approach but this good-for-nothing never even won a coppetta!!!!!
