Barcelona interested in AC Milan defender

Theo Hernández looks set to join AC Milan from Real Madrid in the coming days.

The Frenchman is due in Milan for a medical on Monday and is expected to join the Rossoneri on an initial loan deal with a €20m obligation to buy.

His arrival means Ricardo Rodríguez could be surplus to requirements at San Siro and according to Catalan outlet Sport, Barcelona have emerged as a surprise potential suitor for the Swiss defender’s signature.

Rodríguez turns 27 in August and is valued at approximately €15m – which is what Milan paid to sign him from Wolfsburg in 2017.

The left-back could potentially move to Camp Nou as cover for Jordi Alba and if it does happen, young full-back Juan Miranda may leave the Blaugrana either permanently or on loan.

Rodríguez managed four assists in 41 appearances for Milan last season.
