Amid Theo’s remarks and Real Madrid matches, Milan decided on a €100 million fee.

Many major clubs are keeping an eye on Theo Hernandez, and his remarks from yesterday have given rise to rumors that he is leaving. However, a report claims that AC Milan has a very definite position on the subject because a €100 million offer would be required.

Since his arrival, the Frenchman has been a vital member of Milan’s squad, and this summer, he is anticipated to play a major role for his nation. As the photo below from today’s Gazzetta dello Sport highlights, his remarks regarding the future somewhat caught the Rossoneri off surprise. Milan set a high price.

“My attention is on the Euros.” We’ll see later whether or not I stay in Milan,” he said. Theo surprised everyone, as is undoubtedly his specialty, but this time the Rossoneri ended up confused. But only for a little period of time, as the management has stated that selling the star will cost €100 million. Due to the difficult nature of the renewal talks with Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich has previously indicated their interest. The Canadian international, who has been strongly associated with Real Madrid, may choose to remain in Germany.

The Bernabeu team could then devote all of their attention on Hernandez and get him back to the team five years after he left. The 26-year-old has always stated that, although it would require a significant procedure, he would like to return. Ready for a salary like Leao Milan has stated that they would not be changing their position, although the existing contract expires in 2026, which is not ideal. Renewal negotiations are anticipated to heat up following the Euros, and Hernandez is set to get a salary akin to that of Rafael Leao—roughly €7 million annually.

But as Zlatan Ibrahimovic stated a few days ago, Milan would only pursue individuals who express a desire to stay with the team. Therefore, things might be different if Hernandez informed the management that he would desire to return to Real Madrid.

In any event, the Rossoneri are aware that a team like Real Madrid could be able to afford such a high price tag. Funds that would, naturally, be re-invested in the market, as Sandro Tonali demonstrated last summer.
