Theo Hernandez Sets Terms for Real Madrid Return: “Madrid Is the Best, But…”
In a highly anticipated press conference, French international and AC Milan left-back Theo Hernandez addressed rumors about a potential return to Real Madrid. While he expressed his admiration for the Spanish giants, Hernandez also outlined a key condition for considering a move back to Madrid.
“Madrid Is the Best Place to Be”
Hernandez began by complimenting Real Madrid, the club where he first gained recognition after joining from Atlético Madrid in 2017. “Madrid is one of the top clubs in the world. It’s the dream destination for many players, and I have great respect for what they’ve accomplished,” he said. “It’s truly the best place to be in football.”
Since his 2019 departure to AC Milan, Hernandez has become one of Europe’s most impressive left-backs, known for his attacking abilities, defensive strength, and leadership. Consequently, rumors about his potential return to Madrid have increased, especially as the club looks to bolster their squad.
“One Condition Must Be Met”
However, Hernandez made it clear that a return to Madrid would not be simple. “I won’t return unless they meet my conditions,” he asserted confidently.
The French defender emphasized that he requires a clear assurance of his role and significance in the team. “If I were to return, I need to be more than just part of the squad; I need to be an essential player. I’ve worked hard to get to this point, and I want that effort to be acknowledged.”
This demand, while reasonable for a player of his caliber, could present a challenge for Real Madrid, who have traditionally rotated their defenders to maintain squad depth. Hernandez’s insistence on a guaranteed key role highlights his desire to be an integral figure in any team.
Focus on AC Milan
Despite the speculation, Hernandez reaffirmed his dedication to AC Milan. “I’m proud to wear the Milan shirt. The fans, the club’s history, and the ambition here mean a lot to me,” he remarked. He further emphasized that his attention is fully on helping Milan achieve their goals this season, both in domestic and European competitions.
Hernandez has been crucial for the Rossoneri, and Milan fans can take comfort in his continued commitment to the team.
What’s Next for Madrid?
Real Madrid’s interest in Hernandez reflects their ongoing strategy to bring in the world’s top talents. However, whether the club will be willing to meet his conditions is still uncertain. Given Madrid’s experience with managing high-profile players and their expectations, they will need to carefully assess how Hernandez fits into their long-term plans.
As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Madrid to see if they make a concrete move for Hernandez and how they address his conditions.
For now, Theo Hernandez continues to prove why he’s one of the most coveted players in global football, leaving fans and analysts eager for the next chapter in his career.
