The Rossoneri club wants to sign a new left back: an old target who can arrive “for free” at Milanello reappears.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic announced that Theo Hernandez will remain at Milan and the Frenchman then specified that the future will be discussed after the European Championship. A situation that is not entirely defined, therefore.
Obviously, the Rossoneri club hopes to keep the former Real Madrid player and also to renew his expiring contract in June 2026. Much will depend on the economic effort he wants to make to secure him, on the offers that arrive and also on the player’s willingness to embrace the AC Milan project. There is a mix of factors that must come together to ensure that the marriage continues. After the European Championship we will understand better what will happen.
Milan, Hernandez’s reserve from Spain
If the Milan If he managed to keep the French international, he would only have to worry about getting a worthy deputy. In recent years, some unconvincing choices have been made, starting with the hiring of Fodé Ballo-Touré in 2021, and an attempt will be made to remedy this in the next summer transfer market session.
For the left wing it could come back into fashion Juan Miranda, who for months was indicated as Milan’s target and then was shelved. The 24-year-old Spaniard has a contract that expires at the end of June and can arrive on a free transfer from Real Betis. There had been talk of his possible transfer to Milanello already in January, but the Rossoneri club did not want to spend the 3-4 million euros requested by the Andalusians.
In recent days, rumors have emerged regarding the interest of Benfica, Port And Sporting. The three big names in the Portuguese league are competing to secure him and there are also other clubs in the mix, who sense the opportunity to make a good move on a free transfer. It is necessary to understand what the requests are in terms of salary and commissions, but it should not be an excessively onerous operation.
The Milan he would bring home a good alternative to Theo Hernandez, a full-back capable of making him regret less than other deputies we have seen in recent seasons. At times Stefano Pioli has adapted Alessandro Florenzi on the left, the former Roma player has given his all even in a flank that is not his and he hasn’t done badly, but there is a need to upgrade and take a true left-handed full-back. We’ll see if it’s Miranda.
