The Real Madrid board does not rule out bringing back one of their former defenders in the upcoming winter market. Recent reports indicate the 'merengue' interest in Theo Hernández, the left-back for whom the 'White House' paid 24 million euros to Atlético de Madrid in 2017. The French international could not secure a spot due to Marcelo's presence and ended up being loaned to Real Sociedad a year later.
Finally, in 2019, AC Milan acquired the services of the Marseille player for 22.8 'million'. Theo signed until 2026 with the 'rossoneri', with whom he already won a Serie A in 2022. The Frenchman has been one of the key figures of the team in recent seasons, scoring 31 goals and providing 41 assists in 231 matches. This season, he has maintained his starting position under Pau Fonseca, although he has been on the bench for two consecutive matches.
Theo Hernández, an interesting alternative to Alphonso Davies
In this regard, the English portal 'CaughtOffside' claims that Hernández is already in contact with Real Madrid, a club that prioritizes reinforcing its entire defense in the winter market. Injuries have put the Madrid defense in jeopardy, with Dani Carvajal's absence being the hardest to overcome. On the left, Ferland Mendy has also faced some physical setbacks, and due to Carlo Ancelotti's lack of confidence in Fran García, the club does not want to waste time looking for another left-back.
Alphonso Davies was Florentino Pérez's favorite, but the Canadian's salary demands, along with Bayern Munich's insistence on renewing him, force Madrid to seek other options. Theo, however, would not come for a low amount, as his market value reaches 50 million euros and the 'rossoneri' will seek to renew him in 2025. Otherwise, he will hardly leave for less than 40 'million'.
