Theo Hernandez’s agent made a visit to AC Milan’s headquarters today, following the player’s absence from the starting lineup in Milan’s match against Genoa. This meeting comes after Hernandez remained on the bench for the entire 90 minutes, a decision that followed a discussion between the player and coach Paulo Fonseca.
Manuel Garcia Quilon, Hernandez’s agent, spoke to reporters outside Casa Milan, addressing the situation and the player’s future with the club. “We haven’t talked about renewal, it’s not a problem: it has always been the player’s intention,” Quilon stated. He clarified the purpose of his visit, saying, “We are here for tax reasons.”
Regarding Hernandez’s recent benching, Quilon maintained a diplomatic stance: “The bench? It’s not a choice that concerns us. It happened to Leao too, you have to respect the coach’s choices. Players must accept the decision.” He noted that Hernandez didn’t even warm up during the Genoa match.
The agent’s comments suggest a desire to maintain a positive relationship with the club despite the recent developments. Hernandez has been a key player for Milan this season, appearing in twelve league matches, scoring two goals, and providing two assists.
This meeting and Quilon’s statements come amid speculation about Hernandez’s future at the club. The left-back’s current contract situation and his recent omission from the starting lineup have fueled discussions about his long-term prospects with Milan. However, the agent’s visit and expressed intention to renew indicate that both parties are working towards a continued partnership.
