Theo Hernandez refused the transfer to Al Hilal, which had put a 20 million euros per season contract on the table for the player.
In fact, the ex Real Madrid defender wants to continue playing in Europe. The Frenchman’s contract expires in 2026, and the renewal negotiations with Milan have been stalled for some time now.
As reported by AS, Atlético Madrid’s interest in him is concrete and real, but negotiations with both the full-back and the Rossoneri will not be easy and have only just begun. In the coming weeks, Simeone’s team will be busy with the Club World Cup, so a quick acceleration in the Theo Hernandez deal is unlikely.
In recent days, Milan had accepted Al Hilal’s 30 million euros offer—an amount no other club has put on the table. The Frenchman is in no rush and awaits developments in the coming weeks, but he would still be ready to stay another season at Milanello and then leave on a free transfer in a year when his contract expires.
