Theo Hernández and AC Milan on Verge of Contract Extension

Negotiations in Final Stages as Star Defender Set to Commit Long-Term

Key Points:

Theo Hernández and AC Milan are on the brink of agreeing to a contract extension that will keep the French defender at the club until 2026, according to multiple reports.

Hernández, 25, has been a key figure in Milan's resurgence under coach Stefano Pioli, helping the team win the Serie A title last season for the first time in 11 years.

The left-back's current contract with Milan expires in 2024, but the club has been eager to tie him down to a long-term deal in recognition of his importance to the team.

Hernández has made 117 appearances for Milan since joining from Real Madrid in 2019, scoring 20 goals and providing 23 assists.

The France international has also been capped 15 times by his country and was part of the squad that won the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Hernández's contract extension is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.
