Given that Hernandez’s current contract will expire in 2026, with no contract renewal in sight either, it’s believed that the Frenchman will leave this summer. The destination, however, is yet to be decided as the No.19 is still waiting for offers.
Offers from Europe, we mean, as he’s already received a monstrous contract offer of €18m per season from the Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal. According to MilanNews, the club has now also tabled an official offer for Milan to evaluate: €20m.
As the report stated, Milan would like more from their star left-back and will not accept the offer. Furthermore, Hernandez has already said that he would like to remain in Europe and join a top club, which is why he’s inclined to wait one or two more months.
Al-Hilal will feature in the Club World Cup and their goal is thus to complete the deal before the tournament, which starts on June 15th. They will definitely need to come up with their offer for Milan, though, while the biggest hurdle remains convincing the player to leave Europe.
