A page turns to Milan. Théo Hernandez, the left pillar of the club since 2019, would no longer be part of the long -term plans of the Rossoneri. While it has long been untouchable in the workforce, the French could be sold this summer. To replace it, Milan AC targets Rayan Aït-Nouri (23), former French international hopes today Star of Wolverhampton. A scenario revealed by the Gazzetta dello Sport, which sees in it the ideal profile to perpetuate the Milanese offensive tradition.
Why Théo Hernandez leaves
Despite his 28 goals and 34 assists in six seasons, Théo Hernandez pays a halftone season and a volcanic temperament. “He showed defensive limits, and his salary becomes a weight”, analyzes a close to the club. Its role in the elimination of the Rossonerri of the Champions League has also considerably lowered its side. Transfer rumors to PSG or England also persist, pushing Milan to anticipate its replacement.
Trained in Angers and passed through all the selections of young French women (until hopes), Rayan Aït-Nouri opted for Algeria in 2023. Now indisputable holder in Wolverhampton, the left side (1.79m) seduced by his explosiveness and his technique. “He attacks much better than he defends”, Summarizes the Gazzetta, highlighting its 1.9 dribbles successful per match this season – second of the Wolves behind Matheus Cunha. A defensively perfectible style, but perfect for a Milan adept at offensive backlash.
A file at € 50 million, but assets
Under contract until 2026 (with option of one year), Aït-Nouri would cost between 50 and 60 million €. A high price, but negotiable thanks to agent Jorge Mendes, also in charge of Joāo Félix … and close to Milanese leaders. “His experience in the Premier League against Liverpool or Arsenal is a big plus against Maxim de Cuyper (Bruges), the other candidate”specifies the Italian media.
If Théo Hernandez marked Milan of his imprint, Aït-Nouri embodies a new breath. With his beard like Salah and his socks down, he would bring a different charisma … and a tactical freshness. It remains to convince the Wolves, who dream of an escalation.
By betting on Aït-Nouri, Milan returns to his DNA: recruiting talents with high potential, capable of shining under pressure. A daring bet, but necessary to turn the Théo page.
