Theo Hernandez is a key player for AC Milan and after renewing his contract at the start of 2022, a new deal is now on the cards. According to a report, the parties will sit down and discuss the matter in the summer.
After an inconsistent start to the season, Hernandez has shown his importance in the last few months, playing both at centre-back and left-back. He last renewed his contract with Milan at the start of 2022, meaning it is soon time to sit down and talk again.
According to Calciomercato.com, the Frenchman is very happy at Milan and has asked to postpone all renewal talks until the summer. Not because he wants to think about his options, but rather because he wants to focus on the current season and help the Rossoneri as much as possible.
Towards the end of the season, and in the summer, he will sit down with his agent Manuel Garcia Quillon and Milan to discuss the renewal. The current contract will expire in 2026 and the 26-year-old wants to stay at the club, set to receive a slight pay rise as well.
Hernandez currently earns €4m per year and it’s believed that he could come closer or even match Rafael Leao, who is at €5-7m per year.
His contract expires the same time as Mike’s. Not sure why Mike’s renewal has been prioritized over Theo’s
It says why in the article
“the Frenchman is very happy at Milan and has asked to postpone all renewal talks until the summer”
Theo doesn’t want to enter negotiations until summer so why not work on Mikes now?
Working is in progress. Mike has rejected first offer. He wants 8 mil / year
Because Theo is not expendable where as Mike potentially could be. Theo is going to sit and watch the Maignan renewal develop then ask for more if not as much as Mike’s figures.
That worries me.
This is the player we should never sell!
Theo is worth whatever he asks for👌
