Manchester City are ready to make a bid for Theo Hernandez, with a report in Italy claiming why AC Milan are ready to sell him as TEAMtalk reveals Real Madrid’s stance on the left-back.
With Man City enduring a hugely disappointing season, one of the areas the defending Premier League champions are keen on strengthening in the summer transfer window is left-back. Josko Gvardiol is the only recognised left-back at the Cityzens, who suffered a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest away from home at the City Ground in the Premier League on Saturday and are in danger of missing out on a Champions League spot.
TEAMtalk’s Italian football correspondent Rudy Galetti reported on February 5 that Man City have AC Milan left-back Hernandez on their radar.
Man City’s main target for the left-back spot is Andrea Cambiasso, but if they miss out on him, then they will make a move for Hernandez, who was part of Madrid’s Champions League-winning squad in the 2017-18 season.
Sources have told TEAMtalk that Milan are ready to cash in on Hernandez in the summer transfer window.
Contract talks between the two parties are at a standstill, and given that the former Madrid defender’s performances this season have been underwhelming, Milan are willing to sell him this summer.
TuttoJuve has now reported that Man City are preparing a bid of €35million (£29.4m, $38m) for Hernandez, whose sprints “have something incredible”, according to Milan and Italy legend Paolo Maldini on MilanTV in November 2022.
The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that if the Premier League club are able to get a deal done for the 27-year-old France international left-back, then they will abandon their interest in Juventus star Cambiasso.
Hernandez’s red card against Feyenoord in the Champions League turned the Milan fans against him, according to TuttoJuve.
The Serie A club are ready to cash in on Hernandez this summer instead of losing him on a free transfer in 2026.
