Man Utd & Real Madrid target Theo Hernandez's agent makes clear statement on France defender's future after being dropped for AC Milan clash with Genoa

<p>The defender's agent Manuel Garcia Quilon has clarified that his agent fully intends to stay at Milan and sign a new contract that will keep him at the club beyond 2026. The French defender has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/theo-hernandez-left-back-candidates-ruben-amorim-man-utd-rebuild-bayern-munich-ac-milan/blt9a81257322af5dc8" target="_blank">linked with a move to Manchester United</a> and Real Madrid as both European giants are in search of a quality left-back option.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://sport.sky.it/calciomercato/2024/12/16/milan-theo-hernandez-agente-incontro-news" target="_blank"><em>Sky Sport in Italy</em></a>, Quilon said: "We didn't talk about renewal but about fiscal issues. The clear will is to stay and renew, we've said it many times."</p><p>Asked about the decision to leave the player on the bench for the full 90 minutes as Milan drew with Genoa at the weekend, the agent added: "These are not decisions that are up to him. He respects his team-mates and when a player plays in one role, the other doesn't play. It also happened to [Rafael] Leao, you have to respect the coach's choices."</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p><em>Sky </em>further claims that in the meeting between Hernadez's agent and Rossoneri CEO Giorgio Furlani, both parties agreed to a new deal. The main target for the Serie A giants is to not lose money on the defender if a suitable offer for him arrives next summer. The Italian side are reportedly ready to increase the player's wages €5 million (£4.1m/$5.2m) per season.</p>
