According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid are interested in signing AC Milan left-back Theo Hernandez next summer. The Spanish side are even ready to offer as much as €30 million to acquire the services of the player.
Theo Hernandez is an established figure
Theo Hernandez has been a key figure at AC Milan since joining them in the summer of 2019 from Real Madrid. He has established himself as one of the best left-back across the globe. His impressive performances have generated interest from multiple clubs.
Hernandez has featured in 19 games in the ongoing campaign so far. He has netted two goals and provided as many assists. He is averaging 1.4 tackles, 0.8 interceptions, and 1.5 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).
The French left-back is equally good in both aspects of the game. He provides solidity and strength from the left side. At the same time, he has the raw pace, dribbling skills, passing accuracy, and creative mindset to impact the offensive front positively.
Will AC Milan demand a higher fee?
Real Madrid have the likes of Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia as their left-backs in the squad. While the former has been inconsistent with his performances, the latter certainly doesn’t have the skill set to be the primary choice for the reputed club.
Hence, the Whites are in the market searching for a better option. Theo Hernandez surely stands out considering his qualities, experience, and consistency. He has already represented the Spanish side earlier and knows about their culture and expectations.
Hernandez’s arrival will surely strengthen the already star-studded squad of Real Madrid. While the Spanish outfit is ready to splash out around €30 million to acquire the 27-year-old, it depends upon the AC Milan management if they would be ready to let him go or not.
