Real Madrid will reportedly look to re-sign 25-year-old AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Theo Hernandez is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The outgoing La Liga champions are keen on re-signing the 25-year-old AC Milan defender. And a move in the summer transfer window might be on the cards.
Theo Hernandez has found a stable footing since joining AC Milan from Real Madrid. The French defender’s stint with Los Blancos left much to be desired as he failed to make his mark at the club. But he has taken his game to the next level in the last four years, establishing himself as one of the best full-backs in the world.
The 25-year-old has also established a foothold in the French national team and was a part of Les Bleus’ squad at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Meanwhile, Hernandez has seen his market value rise to €60 million in the last four years. And the player’s progress has captured the attention of his former club Real Madrid.
Real Madrid will re-sign Fran Garcia in the summer transfer window to bolster the left-back unit. But the Spaniard might not be the only left-back joining Real Madrid ahead of the 2023/24 season. With Ferland Mendy facing an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu amid interest from Premier League clubs, Los Blancos might need a replacement.
Theo Hernandez has thus emerged as a viable target for Real Madrid. The Merengues have been following his progress for a long time. And his qualities make the 25-year-old an attractive long-term prospect for the Spanish club. They are now plotting a summer move for the player.
Hernandez will likely cost much more than his market value of €60 million. But money should not be a problem for Real Madrid as they get ready for a big summer transfer window. And it will be interesting to see if the Frenchman is eager to return to the Santiago Bernabeu.
