Milan will reward French full back Theo Hernandez with a hefty raise in his new contract with the club.
The 24-year-old Frenchman is one of the key players in coach Stefano Pioli’s squad and he wants to keep the promise he made to Paolo Maldini, that he would become a historical figure for the Rossoneri.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Milan are working on offering Hernandez a new contract that will see his salary raise from €1.5m to €4m, which can raise to €5m net if the attached add-ons are reached. The club are still deciding whether the new deal will expire in 2026 or 2027.
The Rossoneri hope to have ironed out all the relevant details before the end of the month, ready to reward the Frenchman for his loyalty and quality. They also appreciate the fact that he didn’t quickly demand a raise and instead waited patiently, understanding the tough economic circumstances.
The 24-year-old Hernandez has made 22 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 1813 minutes. In that time, he has scored four goals and provided five assists.
