AC Milan Considers Jimenez’s Future as Hernandez’s Status Remains Unclear

AC Milan is preparing to enter discussions with Real Madrid regarding the long-term future of promising left-back Alex Jimenez. The Italian club acquired Jimenez from Real Madrid last summer for €5 million, but the Spanish giants retain two buyback options.

Real Madrid can repurchase Jimenez for €9 million next summer or €12 million in 2026. Milan is keen to renegotiate these terms, although the success of such talks remains uncertain.

The Rossoneri’s interest in securing Jimenez’s services is partly due to the uncertain future of their current left-back, Theo Hernandez. The French international has been benched for the last two league matches, raising questions about his role in the team.

Despite recent claims from Hernandez’s agent that the player wishes to extend his contract beyond 2026, Milan may still consider selling him this summer. Bayern Munich has expressed interest in Hernandez, particularly as they anticipate selling Alphonso Davies in 2025.

As Milan navigates these complex negotiations, the club’s strategy for its left-back position remains a key focus for the upcoming transfer windows.
