Premier League giants Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea have been handed a transfer boost in the race to sign Serie A defender Theo Hernandez. The full-back, who broke into the France national team in 2021, has played for AC Milan since 2019. He has played 232 games for the Italian giants, scoring 31 goals and providing 41 assists.
However, his contract with the Rossoneri will conclude in the summer of 2026, and he has yet to agree on a new deal with the club. With just 18 months left on his current contract, the Italian club will have to determine if they are willing to let him go for a fee or for free.
This has created uncertainty around his future, which is a boost for Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and other clubs. According to a report from TBR Football (via The Hard Tackle), AC Milan had expected that Hernandez would have signed a contract extension by this point. If they cannot get him to agree to a new deal, they will have to sell him to interested parties.
