Barcelona’s search for a new left-back has attracted attention, with several players trying to seize the opportunity to make themselves known through their agents. According to El Nacional, one of these players is Theo Hernandez, who is desperately seeking an escape from Milan, despite being a key player and fan favorite since his arrival.
Hernandez has established himself as one of the top left-backs in the world during his time at Milan, enjoying successful seasons. However, despite receiving significant offers last summer, he has stayed at San Siro. Now, Hernandez is eager to leave, feeling discontent and no longer comfortable with his situation at the club.
The Frenchman has had multiple clashes with his former coach, Paulo Fonseca, and his relationship with current coach Sergio Conceição is also strained.
He was heavily criticized after his unnecessary red card in Milan’s Champions League loss to Feyenoord, where he tried to win a penalty while already on a yellow card, contributing to his team’s elimination.
Now, Hernandez is eager to start a new chapter, and the idea of joining Barcelona is highly appealing. It would allow him to return to Spain and become part of a competitive project under coach Hansi Flick. He believes he could earn a starting spot, competing with Alejandro Balde.
This potential move is something that Barcelona’s president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco must carefully consider, as Hernandez brings a wealth of experience and world-class talent. Given his past at Real Madrid, where he spent just one season and failed to earn a place under Zinedine Zidane, Hernandez’s arrival at Barcelona would be a notable and intriguing development.
