Theo Hernandez played a pivotal role in Milan’s epic comeback victory against Inter, securing the club’s eighth Italian Super Cup. The French defender not only scored a crucial free-kick goal and provided a perfect assist for Pulisic’s equalizer but also made significant contributions to the team’s spirit before and after the match. This performance marks a welcome return to form for Hernandez, who had struggled at the beginning of the season, appearing gloomy and unable to reach his full potential.
Calciomercato report that the renewed positivity surrounding Hernandez on the field is mirrored by the progress in contract renewal discussions between his agent and Milan. With his current contract set to expire in 2026, both parties are engaged in harmonious dialogue, and an economic agreement is now much closer than before. While the negotiations haven’t yet reached the stage of drafting new agreements, as is the case with Mike Maignan and Tijjani Reijnders, the club believes they are on the right track to reach a successful conclusion.
Milan are prepared to make a significant financial effort for Hernandez, with reports suggesting they are willing to offer a salary in the range of 6 to 6.5 million euros per year. There is already an agreement on the duration of the new contract, which would extend until 2029. The Rossoneri management is optimistic about finalizing the deal in the near future, securing the services of one of their key players for the long term.
