Milan tell Theo Hernandez to find a new club after 7m wage demand | OneFootball

Multiple reports today state Milan told Theo Hernandez to find himself a new club after rejecting his contract demands, but he is not convinced by Al-Hilal.

The left-back’s current deal only runs to June 2026, so if there is no extension imminently, he must be sold this summer to avoid the risk of losing him for free.

Agent Manuel Quilon arrived at the club headquarters this afternoon for a meeting with new director of sport Igli Tare and there was already a very strong decision made.

Calciomercato.com, Sportitalia and more all claim his salary request worth €7-8m per season was rejected outright as completely unrealistic.

It would practically double his current wage, which is €4m per season net.

The agent was therefore told to find a new club, with reports they agreed on the fee that would be required to make the sale.

Al-Hilal are in direct contact with Milan and offering €18m per season net, though Theo Hernandez is determined to continue his career in Europe.

The 27-year-old had his heart set on a return to Real Madrid, but they seem to be looking at other targets, so Manchester United could be invited back into the running.

Because he was purchased from Real Madrid back in 2019 for €22.8m, practically any sale would generate a healthy profit for the Rossoneri.
