Last night was very turbulent at AC Milan regarding the handling of the Theo Hernandez deal with Atletico Madrid. At first, there were confirmations of progress in the negotiations and a closing of the gap between the parties, suggesting that an agreement was nearing: the financial differences were said to be minimal. However, three hours later, just before midnight, came the news that all negotiations between the two clubs had broken down — something must have happened in the meantime.
Theo's agent at work
Despite reports confirming from the outset that the deal had fallen through, today the editorial team at MilanNews.it has learned and reported that Theo Hernandez’s entourage, led by agent Manuel Garcia Quilon, is currently working to repair the rift and reignite the Atletico Madrid track. Much will depend on the will of the Spanish club, which will be involved in the Club World Cup in the United States over the coming days. The situation remains uncertain and is subject to continuous updates in the coming hours.
Theo Hernandez’s contract with Milan is set to expire in June 2026: the club and the player have not come close to a renewal, and it is unlikely they will reach an agreement this summer. After rejecting offers from Al Hilal, Theo pushed for a move to Atletico — but the Spanish side is offering significantly less than the €30 million proposed by the Saudi club.
