As is natural for a player with his quality, Theo Hernandez is attracting the interest of a number of top clubs and renewal talks are planned between now and the end of the season.
Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) reports this morning that the management’s focus after the winter mercato closed last night has already shifted to the summer window and in particular to possible renewals.
There are many players who could sign a new contract with Milan, such as Mike Maignan, and Theo is certainly on that list given that he is among the best in the world in his position.
The left-back renewed his contract in 2021, extending it until 2026 and signing an economic agreement worth €4m net per year, but discussions will soon start over another new contract.
The paper states that Theo ‘is in love with Milan’ and would like to stay ‘for a long time’. However, Milan’s desire to keep him and the player’s wish to extend must be joined to a financial agreement too.
Tuttosport do not mention what he might ask for regarding salary, but given that Rafael Leao’s new deal is €7m net per season including bonuses it is possible that the level has been raised beyond the previous internal salary cap.
