Theo Hernandez’s agent, Manuel Garcia Quilon, claims that the player plans to stay with Milan and extend his contract. Hernandez has made 231 appearances for Milan since joining from Real Madrid in 2019, scoring 31 goals and dishing out 41 assists. He has struggled under the new coach, Paulo Fonseca, in spite of these efforts.
This season, Hernandez has started in 10 out of the 12 Serie A matches he participated in. However, his form has been inconsistent. He has only created 15 chances for teammates in the league thus far, and he was benched during Milan’s most recent goalless encounter against Genoa. Nevertheless, with 56 attacking sequence involvements, he tops Milan’s defenders.
There have been doubts regarding his confusing future at San Siro, despite the fact that his contract is slated to expire in 2026. Quilon clarified during his visit to Casa Milan on Monday that Hernandez is eager to talk to the team about a new contract. “We did not talk about a contract renewal, but about fiscal matters,” said Quilon.
Hernandez’s ambition is extremely evident, Quillon underlined: he wants to stay at Milan and sign a new deal. The intention is clearly for him to remain and sign a new deal. That’s what we’ve said many times,” Quilon reiterated. This statement aims to dispel any doubts regarding Hernandez’s commitment to the team.
Prior to this season, Fonseca benched Hernandez. Quilon respected the coach’s decisions and accepted that the athlete had no say in them. Quilon explained, “The player has no say in these decisions.” Quilon also mentioned similar situations with other athletes, like Rafael Leao.
He underlined the importance of respecting coaching decisions as a part of team harmony. “He respects his teammates, and when one player is on the field, the other inevitably isn’t,” stated Quilon.
Hernandez wants to continue with Milan, and the club is eager to keep him, as seen by the ongoing negotiations, despite recent performance issues under Fonseca’s direction.
