Despite talks breaking down, Theo Hernandez’s entourage are still trying to sort a move away from AC Milan.
It is nothing new for Theo’s saga to be mad. In fact, it is rather common for it to be a little bit unhinged. Nevertheless, the past 24 hours have been crazy, even compared to the past year of contract discussions.

Last night, it was reported that Atletico Madrid had increased their bid to around €20 million, from their initial point of €15m. Certainly closer to what Milan are seeking, but not a done deal, definitely. However, talks stopped in the night, with reports suggesting that a deal was off this morning.
This, obviously, is not ideal for Theo, considering it is a World Cup year and there is a threat of no gametime this season. So, his entourage is desperately trying to get the two parties back to the table.
According to Milan News, Manuel Garcia Quilon is leading the defender’s entourage in discussions with Atleti, seeking to ‘mend the rift’ and ‘revive’ the talks between the two clubs. For now, though, it is entirely dependent on the wishes of the Spanish giants.
In other words, the Rossoneri’s position of weakness has somehow gotten worse.
Just give this guy 3 years contract with increment of salary if he didn’t perform you have chance to sell without distress
God bless you for saying this. I even said 2yrs in other article. Next season you get to sell him for a better price value.
I believe he can really help Milan back to top 4 and possibly win the League next season if a good team is well built around Him, Leao, Mike, Pulisic, Pavlovic and Fofana
Agreed.
In a better defensive structure and rest during summer he will be back to good form.
To offer a contract to the player who wants to leave?
He clearly wants to leave, and you want to offer a new contract to him? If he would like to stay, we would have already signed the contract months ago.
Instead, he demanded ridiculous salary increase, while playing really average season. You can clearly see how much he is “worth”, nobody wants him. Even Atleti won’t give more than 20mil for him. And they didn’t have problems paying 42mil for Gallagher or 35mil for Normand.
Because they don’t need to. Why would they offer 25M when 5M will be enough in 7 months from today?
How do you sell for the money you want if the player doesn’t perform?
Or a 2 year bridge deal with bonuses related to performance. Same salary, possibility to reach his 7.5 if he really gets back to his best. Put in a 30- 35 million release clause. That way everyone is covered. He plays well, other clubs want to meet our valuation, he receives his desired salary, moves on and we call it a day.
Elsehwere, Furlani is playing hardball for Musah. Napoli are reportedly offering 25 including bonuses but Furlani deems it too little. Peak comedy from these clowns.
Yep. Napoli will walk away.
It is not about the demanded salary anymore. He-wants-to-leave.
So much for having a sporting director. In the last week we turned down:
€20 million for Mike
€25 million for Musah
€20 million for Theo
That’s €65 million, enough for Ricci and a DF. Imbeciles.
Offer for Mike was around 18mil. That’s a slap in the face, not an offer.
Musah deal is hinging on the bonuses. Furlani isn’t letting 25mil slip through his fingers.
As for theo, doesn’t make sense for Athletico to offer anything above 15mil since he can be agreed up on as a free agent this winter.
