GdS: Renewal request generates rift – Milan have ‘already decided’ Theo Hernandez’s fate | OneFootball

AC Milan have already decided the fate of Theo Hernandez with his contract having less than 18 months left to run, a report claims.

This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport speaks quite strongly of Theo’s latest ‘insult’ to Milan in what has been a negative season. He reported for international duty with France despite asking to come off at half-time against Como due to a calf problem.

According to the paper, his future ‘has already been decided’ and his contract, which expires in the summer of 2026, will not be renewed. Offers are expected at the end of the season and if they don’t arrive, the possibility remains that he could department in a free transfer.

Milan will sign a new starting left-back to replace him, even if Alex Jimenez could get more of a chance in the coming games given the need for determined and hungry players. However, the ‘rift with the club’ is there between Theo and Milan.

The management – while waiting for the arrival of a new sporting director – have chosen ‘not to offer him a rich renewal’. To extend the agreement, the former Real Madrid man is asking for a salary increase that the club have no intention of agreeing to.
