The Milan management hosted a pair of key summits at their headquarters Thursday. They met with the agents of Sven Botman, who is their top target for the summer. Moreover, they talked with the entourage of Theo Hernandez.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, they had a rendezvous with the representatives of the Muy Manero agency, which assists the Lille defender. Nikkie Bruineberg, Francesco Miniero, and Nello Agresti were on the stands for the Coppa Italia match against Lazio too.
The French club stonewalled the Rossoneri in January, as they wanted to hold onto their center-back. The Serie A side wished to replace the injured Simon Kjaer, but they will have to wait until the end of the season. They will battle with Newcastle come June. Les Dogues, which are trying to drive up the price tag, are asking for €30/40M. Other teams are keen on the Dutchman as well, although Milan were the first to pursue him seriously.
The Italian outfit is usually resistant to partaking in bidding wars. However, they could make an exception for the Dutchman, whom they see as a perfect fit next to Fikayo Tomori. The three agents spent an hour and a half at Casa Milan, the transfer market ace reports.
Manuel Garcia Quilon also paid a visit to the club Thursday. The management has put the finishing touches on the extension of Theo Hernandez. The official announcement could arrive as soon as Friday. His new contract will run through 2026, Di Marzio informs. The fullback will almost triple his wages.
