Theo Hernandez-Milan: frost on renewal
Theo Hernandez-Milan: the renewal does not take off
It's frost between Theo Hernandez and AC Milan. After the heavy disqualification of two days due to the expulsion in the final match against Fiorentina, the Rossoneri club and the French player are reportedly still far from finding a square for the extension of the former Real Madrid player's contract, which expires on June 30, 2026.
According to a report by "La Gazzetta dello Sport", the French flanker has reportedly asked for a salary around 8 million euros net per season to extend his relationship with the meneghini. At the moment, howeverò, the gap between supply and demand would be very wide, asè the Rossoneri management would set the salary cap at the 7 million currently received by Rafa Leao.
In the coming weeks, Milan will attempt to reconnect with the player's entourage to try to find common ground on the renewal. In case of black smoke, however, a sale of Theo Hernandez in the next summer soccer market session could not be ruled out, so as to monetize as much as possible while avoiding losing the player in a zero-parameter.
In addition to the former Real Sociedad man, the Rossoneri club is also reportedly working to extend the contract of Mike Maignan, also due to expire in June 2026. Unlike the French side, negotiations with the transalpine goalkeeper would already be at an advanced stage and an agreement in principle would have been reached on the basis of an extension until 2028 with a salary that would go from 3.2 to 5.5 million euros per season.
