Milan have finally announced the arrival of Theo Hernandez, although the details on his transfer from Real Madrid are still sketchy.
It was known this morning that the player had completed his move, because the Lega Serie A had his contract listed with it being a permanent move rather than a loan.
Several hours later, Milan released a brief video confirming his signature, but there are reports from Radio Rossonera that it’s actually a €2m loan with obligation to buy next summer for another €18m.
