Real Madrid are eyeing a move to bring one of Europe’s top fullbacks Theo Hernandez back to the club after five years away.
Real Madrid are only a few pieces away from having assembled the most formidable squad in all of Europe. Over the last few transfer windows the club has been signing some of the best talent from all over the globe to dominate not only domestically but also Europe for many years to come.
One place in the squad that needs some patchwork is the defence. A number of key players in the defence have suffered long-term, season ending injuries which has caused Carlo Ancelotti to deploy a makeshift defence which at times has cost the team results.
If Real Madrid hope to be the single powerhouse team in Europe they must look into the transfer market to strengthen their defence. And luckily for fans, the club are looking into bring back a player who never got his chance to shine at the club in the past.
Real Madrid make contact to bring defender back to the club
According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are set to move on from a potential transfer of Alphonso Davies and instead look to AC Milan fullback Theo Hernandez back to the club to strengthen an injury riddled backline.
Hernandez left Los Blancos in 2019 for a new venture at AC Milan where he has established himself as one of the top left-back in Europe. The Frenchman only has 18 months left on his contract with the Italian club, and with talks over a new deal stalling, many clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid are looking at a potential transfer.
The Frenchman has been struggling with form a bit this season so his transfer value has dropped slightly. AC Milan were reportedly looking for around €50 million in the summer to consider selling the player but with his slight dip in form, and an expiring contract Milan could look at accept whatever fee a club offers so they don’t lose Theo Hernandez on a free transfer.
