"Manchester City" is fighting for Teo Hernandez: the defender Guardiola dreamed of?
“Manchester City” has started efforts to strengthen their defense line during the summer transfer window. One of the main targets for the “Citizens” is to attract a high-level player for the left-back position.
Now, “City”’s attention is focused on Milan star Theo Hernandez!
Guardiola wants to bring Theo Hernandez to the team
According to the Spanish publication EsDiario, Josep Guardiola considers the French defender to be an ideal option. His speed, attacking movements, and accurate passes could fit into “City”’s tactical scheme.
? “Manchester City” is ready to offer 35 million euros.
? “Milan” values the player at 50 million euros.
Guardiola is exploring the possibility of reaching a reasonable price, as Hernandez is currently considered one of the strongest options for left-back in the football market.
How is Hernandez performing at “Milan”?
27-year-old Theo Hernandez has played 37 matches for “Milan” this season, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists.
? Statistics (2023/24 season):
✅ 37 games
✅ 4 goals
✅ 5 assists
These results are considered very high efficiency for a defender. Hernandez not only plays reliably in defense but also contributes to the attack, posing a threat to the opponent's goal.
What role is prepared for Theo at “City”?
Currently, at “Manchester City,” Josko Gvardiol and Nathan Ake are playing in the left-back position. However:
? Gvardiol primarily plays as a central defender.
? Nathan Ake is reliable in defense but does not join the attack much.
Guardiola plans to strengthen the defense by bringing in Theo Hernandez and making wing attacks more effective.
Will “Milan” sell Theo Hernandez?
Hernandez’s contract with “Milan” is valid until 2026.
This will be an important decision for the “rossoneri”:
? If “Milan” sells him, they could earn around 50 million euros.
? If they keep him, Theo will remain an important player for the team.
“Milan” wants to maximize profit from his transfer, so “City”’s offer of 35 million euros may be insufficient.
Will Hernandez move to “City”?
“Manchester City” has not yet made an official offer to buy Hernandez, but Guardiola wants to bring him to the team.
✅ If “City” increases their offer, Theo Hernandez may head to “Etihad.”
✅ If “Milan” wants to keep the player, Guardiola will have to consider other options.
In the coming weeks, the outcome of this transfer may become clear. The football world is closely watching developments in this direction!
