Theo Hernandez may leave Milan in January, but he wants to stay

They say Theo Hernandez gets into trouble when he’s targeted. On the pitch, it’s not even that true. In life, we will see soon. Never had a coach targeted him like Paulo Fonseca did. The concept is simple: Fonseca is not happy with how Theo trains and goes on the pitch. Application question. He sent him to the bench in Rome and criticized him without mentioning him after Milan-Stella Rossa. There’s more, there’s the market. Until the summer, Theo was only taken with a maxi offer, let’s say 50 million and up. This is no longer the case. Theo is in a bad place. His performance is below the level of his good years and the video with the alleged attack on a girl has gone around the web. Furthermore, his contract expiring in 2026 is starting to pose a danger: Theo could leave with nothing in a year and a half. For this reason, Milan can definitely be convinced with a lower figure.

The market

Theo, in all this, has a clear idea: he is fine in Milan, he is linked to Milan. If it were up to him, he would stay. The renewal, however, is at a standstill – in recent months, no substantial progress – and its situation has lately worsened week after week. In certain situations, if there is no more feeling, perhaps it is better to leave. It will all depend on the evolution of the relationship with Fonseca and on the offers that will probably arrive in January or June. It’s difficult to imagine an operation in the winter but no, it can’t be ruled out now. If the conditions are right…

Calabria

—

Two other AC Milan captains are experiencing complex moments. Davide Calabria, the starting player, was the protagonist of a controversial exit from the pitch against Red Star and his contract expires in June. For months, it has been understood: that contract will not be renewed. In the next few months Calabria will leave Milan, following a poorly developed relationship. Meanwhile, yesterday he vented on social media: “There has been a lot of incorrect information circulating about me and the team. These allegations about pitch dynamics, various comparisons and my private life do not correspond to the truth, they only create confusion and division.” It is easy to assume he is referring to his involvement in the articles of recent days on Fonseca’s outburst and to a piece of news, never confirmed in the slightest, published by DillingerNews.it on a road accident involving a drunk Calabria.

Tomori

—

The third captain is Fikayo Tomori. He is not among the top in the hierarchy but he also wore the armband. His life is an inclined plane: he was a starter and one of the secrets of the championship, now he has lost his place. It was untransferable, it isn’t anymore. The starters today are Gabbia and Thiaw and the idea is that Fonseca continues like this for the next championship matches. Fik could have played in the Champions League if he hadn’t been disqualified for a yellow card he received… while warming up.
