Manchester City Want To Sign This AC Milan Star In The Summer: Good Choice? | OneFootball

Rudy Galleti has reported that Manchester City have turned their attention towards Theo Hernandez in the upcoming summer transfer window. Real Madrid are also looking to sign him. However, the reigning Premier League champions want to beat the competition and complete his signing.

Hernandez is one of the best left-backs in the world. He has performed really well for both his club and country. Hernandez’s performances have made him attractive to the eyes of big clubs around the world. Other Premier League clubs besides City are also interested in signing him.

Pep Guardiola’s side don’t have a natural left-back right now and hence are using Josko Gvardiol in a makeshift role. However, he is an out-and-out centre-back and wants to play in that position next season. Hence, the Premier League giants are in need of a left-back, and this is why City are looking for Hernandez.

Hernandez is known for his explosive speed and dynamic attacking prowess as a left-back for AC Milan. His ability to contribute significantly in the offensive phase, with overlapping runs and sharp crosses, makes him a threat down the flank.

Defensively, Hernandez has improved, showing tenacity in one-on-one situations and a better understanding of positioning. His physical strength and agility allow him to cover ground quickly, while his technical skills in dribbling and passing elevate his game. His versatility and high energy are key to his reputation as one of Europe’s top full-backs.

Why will he be a good signing?

The 27-year-old has been a sensational performer for AC Milan. However, he will now look to play for a club where he could get consistent chances of winning big trophies. Hernandez has conceded 17 goals and kept six clean sheets in 19 matches in the Serie A 2024/2025 season. That means when Hernandez is on the pitch, his team concedes a goal every 88 minutes. Moreover, he’s made 1.29 tackles and 0.84 interceptions for every 90 minutes he was on the pitch. Hernandez is also racking up about 1.80 clearances at the same time. His total G/A (goals + assists) is five for this season.

City have been performing very badly this season and are likely to not win the Premier League title. Hence, they would want to make some big reinforcements to their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window. Hernadez will surely boost their attacking as well as defensive options.
