CM: Theo Hernandez wants to stay at Milan – what the management told his agents | OneFootball

The future is yet to be decided for Theo Hernandez, but further confirmations have arrived that AC Milan’s renewal offer involves a pay cut.

According to Calciomercato.com, the extension of Theo is not a priority for the management at the moment, unlike those of Christian Pulisic and Mike Maignan. Why? It’s a question of performances and money, with the former having been sub-par and the latter being a sticking point.

Milan have made it clear to Theo’s entourage that they would like to keep his current salary figure of €4.5m net per season plus bonuses. There will be no ‘Leao-level’ offers from the club, no increase to €6m plus bonuses as was mooted until a few months ago.

Theo in the balance

Theo Hernandez is important for the Rossoneri, a player who can be world class, but this season he has had a few too many shortcomings in compares to the levels of performance seen in the Scudetto season.

This has also been the case in terms of leadership, given the red cards (vs. Fiorentina and Feyenoord) and other disciplinary issues like the cooling break and the Fiorentina penalty saga, all of which lost him the armband.

Theo is happy at Milan, he wants to stay and at the moment he is not considering other offers, not even rich ones from Saudi Arabia. He would like to continue for many more years with the shirt that belonged to his idol Paolo Maldini.

The Frenchman will think about a new challenge only if he is shown the door, if from above he is told: ‘You are on the market’. At the moment it is not in Giorgio Furlani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s plans: a renewal remains the primary option at the moment, but at lower figures.
