Real Madrid explores Theo Hernandez as Alphonso Davies successor
Real Madrid is eyeing AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez as a possible replacement if they failed to sign Bayern Munich’s coveted Alphonso Davies.
According to sources, while the Merengues are passionately looking for Davies, they are keeping their options open, recognizing the difficult talks that may be required for obtaining the services of the Bayern Munich speedster.
Theo Hernandez, a 26-year-old French international, has made an incredible turnaround after joining AC Milan from Real Madrid in 2019.
Hernandez has developed into one of the world’s finest full-backs, drawing the attention of high-profile clubs, especially his old employer, after initially failing to make an impact at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid has identified Hernandez as an achievable option for a left-back backup in the coming summer transfer window of 2024.
This strategic shift was driven by concerns over Ferland Mendy’s unpredictable form, which is made worse by fitness issues and Fran Garcia’s failure to prove himself as the primary left-back.
While Alphonso Davies remains Real Madrid’s first unbiased, the club understands the importance of contingency plans in light of Bayern Munich’s reputation as strong negotiators.
With Hernandez’s market value reaching €55 million and his good track record at AC Milan, the Frenchman could find himself back at the Santiago Bernabeu, ready to create a lasting impact in his second spell and potentially address any unfinished business from his previous tenure.
The summer of 2024 promises to be an intriguing chapter for Real Madrid as they navigate the complex landscape of the transfer market.
