Milan postponed their tricky renewals until after the summer but will address the Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan situations one way or the other before the end of the season. The contracts of the two stars run out in 2026.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via Fantacalcio), the fullback makes €4M net and would like a substantial raise to reach the same levels as the top contributors in Europe in his position. He wishes to double his yearly wages, but the Rossoneri are cautious with their payroll.
Milan might have to make Theo Hernandez the highest-paid player in their squad to strike an agreement. Rafael Leao has a €5M base salary, but some easy-to-achieve bonuses allow him to pocket at least €1M more.
The domino that could have led to the departure of the Frenchman didn’t materialize last summer. He’s on the radar of both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. However, Alphonso Davies stayed in Bavaria despite an expiring deal, and Los Blancos opted not to sign somebody else at the position, perhaps waiting to bring him in on a free.
Our Take on Milan, Theo Hernandez, and Maignan
The two matters are intertwined given the common expiration rate, which puts the management in an interesting and dangerous position. They would probably have to raise the bar internally wage-wise to get it done. They’ll mull it over at length before pulling the trigger, assessing whether their performances and the ripple effects of such a decision are worth it, and also how much their sales would eventually fetch and the price tags of possible proper replacements.
