CM: Milan eyeing Brazilian starlet with Italian citizenship to replace Theo | OneFootball

Theo Herndez’s departure is becoming more and more likely as the days pass, and AC Milan are searching for possibilities to replace him.

It is nothing new for cycles to come to an end in football, and Theo is the latest in a long line of players to leave Milan. After all, it has happened before and it will happen again. However, there will be an element of sadness to the Frenchman’s departure when it does happen.

As things stand, there is a chance that he could remain at the club next season and leave as a free agent in 2026, but this is a far from ideal situation. Alternatively, there is a slim, if near impossible, chance that he could remain.

Regardless of whether this happens though, the Rossoneri will sign a new left back in the summer, as Calciomercato.com reports. So far, Maxim De Cuyper and Agumela Kabar are the leading choices, but the club have also begun to consider Lucas Piton Crivellaro, who plays for Vasco Da Gama.

The 24-year-old is an ‘elegant’ left-back, who can progress well with his impressive speed and can also create chances well. Furthermore, he is available for just €9 million. Despite being born in Brazil, the defender holds Italian citizenship through his grandparents and has previously been spoken to by Roberto Mancini about the National Team.
