Theo, the best purchase of Milan

Paolo Maldini, the former legendary Red and Blacks captain currently in the role of technical director, has spoken about the renewal of the contracts of some players including Donnarumman and Calhanoglu, while revealing that Theo Hernandez can be considered without fear the best purchase of Milan since he has a leadership position in the team.

Theo was bought for 20 million euros by Real, who has already regretted releasing him.

“We have three players signing a contract with us at the end of the season Ibra, Calhanoglu, Donnarumma and we also have contracts that expire in 2022. But it is normal practice, we are working to find a solution. Always said that both parties should be happy to find a deal, the players are professionals and they are now thinking 100% about the field. The hope is to find an agreement soon.”

“Before I met Theo, I did not want to know what others thought of him. I met him and I was impressed by his sensitivity. He played for Real Madrid, but he was wasting time because he was not playing. After that meeting, the club and I blindly believed in him. I tell him that his goal should be to become one of the three best defenders in the world and reach the French national team.”
