La Liga outfits Atletico Madrid are pressing to sign Milan left-back Theo Hernandez as Al-Hilal remain a threat.
According to a report by Gianluca Di Marzio, Atletico Madrid have decided not to bow down to Saudi Arabian competition as they are actively negotiating with Milan for Theo Hernandez.
There is still a huge gap to be bridged by the Spanish club as their undisclosed offer price is worth much less than the Rossoneri’s demands.
It is of no surprise that Milan have increased their asking price following the introduction of Al-Hilal as a potential destination for Hernandez.
Milan will not accept any players in exchange and are looking to get only cash to ease their finances from the Frenchman’s sale.
Sporting director Igli Tare is working to get the maximum value for their star player after selling Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City for a sizeable package. Hernandez prefers to move to Atletico Madrid and his reluctance to go to Saudi Arabia could appear as an advantage for Los Colchoneros.
