As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, Theo Hernandez is underperforming and lacks replacements.
The Frenchman made several mistakes between the games against Cagliari (where he was overpowered by Zappa) and Atalanta in Bergamo, but the alternatives are not convincing.
In fact, Filippo Terracciano hasn’t always performed at his best, Davide Calabria is already struggling to find space on the right, and Alex Jimenez is playing for Milan's youth team, Milan Futuro.
What is wrong with the Rossoneri star?
In short, Theo is currently somewhat of a weak link on the left flank and in the entire squad. Nonetheless, the parties are continuing discussions about renewing his contract, which expires in 2026.
What is Theo Hernandez' demands in contract renewal talks with Milan?
The full-back is asking for an adjustment to his current salary of 4.5 million euros. Milan aims to strengthen its negotiating position with potential suitors.
During the summer, contacts with interested clubs, from Bayern Munich to other top clubs, could resume. Major changes in January are unlikely, though. The summer will provide more clarity.
