Uncertainty Over Hernandez’s Wage Demands At AC Milan

Club Legend Could Depart On Free Transfer

AC Milan are reportedly having second thoughts about offering Theo Hernandez a new contract, with the defender’s wage demands proving to be a stumbling block in negotiations. The France international is out of contract at the end of the season and has been linked with a move to several top European clubs, including Real Madrid and Chelsea.

Hernandez has been a key player for Milan since joining from Real Madrid in 2019 and has helped the club win the Serie A title and the Supercoppa Italiana. However, the 25-year-old is now one of the highest earners at the club and Milan are reluctant to meet his demands for a significant pay rise.

Options For Hernandez

If Hernandez does not sign a new contract with Milan, he will be free to join any club on a free transfer in the summer. This would represent a major blow to Milan, who have already lost Franck Kessie and Alessio Romagnoli on free transfers in recent months.

Hernandez has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, where he would be reunited with his former manager Carlo Ancelotti. However, it is unclear whether Real Madrid are willing to pay the wages that Hernandez is demanding.

Chelsea are another club who have been linked with a move for Hernandez. The Blues are in need of a new left-back and Hernandez would be a good fit for Thomas Tuchel’s system.

Conclusion

It remains to be seen whether Hernandez will sign a new contract with Milan or leave the club on a free transfer. The defender is one of the most sought-after players in Europe and Milan will be desperate to keep him.
