Juventus Target Theo Hernandez as AC Milan Plan To Release

Theo Hernandez has reportedly emerged as a top transfer target for Juventus, following AC Milan’s internal decision to part ways with the French left-back, as reported by Bolasport.com.

The future of Hernandez at San Siro has grown increasingly uncertain after the club suspended contract extension negotiations. The main reason? His performance this season has failed to meet expectations.

Salary demands stall renewal talks

A significant obstacle in the renewal discussions has been Hernandez’s salary demands. The 26-year-old is reportedly asking for a raise from €4 million to €5 million per season, aiming to match the salary of star teammate Rafael Leão.

Financial pressures push Milan toward release

AC Milan’s failure to qualify for European competition next season has only added financial strain, pushing the club to offload high-earning players like Hernandez in an attempt to stabilize the club’s finances.

Real Madrid uninterested in reunion

Before catching Juventus’ attention, Hernandez is said to have offered his services to former club Real Madrid, but the Spanish giants reportedly rejected the approach, leaving the door open for domestic rivals to make a move.
