A year ago it was Sandro Tonali's turn, and today the number one candidate to be "sacrificed" is Theo Hernandez. Tuttosport reported this morning that the French full-back might be the star that AC Milan could decide to sacrifice in the summer of 2024. Rumors about his possible transfer to Bayern Munich have intensified in recent days as well, as pointed out by Milan News.
Milan's finances are excellent, so they do not need to sell one of their top players. However, if an irresistible offer comes from Germany, the same situation as last year with Tonali could occur. Of course, everything will depend on how much the Germans put on the table: the Rossoneri club is asking for at least 80 million euros to let Theo go. We will see what happens in the coming weeks, not forgetting that there is still a European Championship to be played in which the Frenchman will be a key player for his national team.
With the sale of a big star, AC Milan's summer transfer budget would significantly increase, and they have some fundamental priorities: they need to sign a great striker, with Joshua Zirkzee always at the top of the list (he has a 40 million euro release clause, but the obstacle could be the high commissions exceeding 10 million), a central defender (the dream is Buongiorno from Torino), a physical midfielder to place in front of the defense (Fofana or Amrabat), and a right-back (Tiago Santos or Emerson Royal).
