With Theo Hernandez’s future away from AC Milan, a new left-back is a must this summer. So, the club are in constant contact with another Serie A club.
There were talks of a reset happening at Milan, and it seems that that is happening very literally. The core of the team is being gutted – and arguably then some – and there are several names being linked with replacing them.
Theo, Mike Maignan and Tijjani Reijnders all will not be present next season, it seems, though that list may get even bigger by the end of the mercato. Nevertheless, the club can only focus on the replacements when they are needed.
So, with Theo’s departure seeming imminent, discussions are being ramped up for potential replacements, and it seems Igli Tare has a preference.
According to Corriere della Sera (via Milan News), the sporting director is ‘insisting’ on replacing the Frenchman with Andrea Cambiaso, the Juventus wing-back, who is capable of playing on either side. In fact, the two clubs are in ‘constant contact’ over a move.
Considering reports are also linking Dusan Vlahovic to the Diavolo, it would not be a surprise if these discussions between the clubs continued throughout the summer. When Theo leaves, though, dominoes could begin to fall for his ideal replacement to leave Turin.
