Theo Hernandez has been one of the star performers of the Spanish La Liga in the current season. He has been playing for Deportivo Alaves on a year-long loan stint from Atletico Madrid and has been in prolific form as a left back for his current club.
His latest performances have attracted lots of interest from a number of clubs all over Europe, including the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-German. However, Premier League club Liverpool is considered to be the frontrunner in the race to acquire the services of the Spanish defender for the next season.
With the England midfielder James Milner playing as a makeshift left-back this season for The Reds, their German coach Jurgen Klopp has been desperately searching for a top class defender who can solve the problems down the left side. As per reports, Hernandez is currently looked up as the best option by the German mastermind for the next season.
Reportedly, the French defender has a release clause of £20m put on him by Atletico Madrid along with a contract that runs till 2022. Liverpool has already made a bid to bag Hernandez and, as per sources, are ready to make a revised bid that should beat the ones made by Barcelona and Real Madrid.
However, it is now dependent on the player whether he is ready for life at Anfield or is happy to stay back in Spain. It is also reported that Atletico Madrid has not received any offer from the big Spanish clubs for their player, which might be looked upon as a good opportunity for The Reds to make a move for making the defender wear their colours in the next season.
Theo Hernandez has been an exceptional young player who has made a name for himself with his brilliant display of skills and his diligence in the backline for his current club. His darting runs down the left-hand side paired with his accurate passes makes him a threat in the opposition half.
His physical strength and his dribbling skills are good enough to shake off his opposition players. His clean tackles and effective clearances have helped his team to avert dangers from the opposition attackers.
With a long list of skills, the French youngster can be a good bargain for the Merseyside club no doubt. However, as per recent reports, Hernandez has expressed his desire to join Los Blancos in the future, which might be a detriment for Liverpool in their persuasion of the young talent.
