AC Milan sign Theo Hernández

The Frenchman's future at Real Madrid was cast into serious doubt following the arrival of Ferland Mendy and the breakthrough of Sergio Reguilón as well as the ever-present Marcelo.

Serie A actually announced the signing on their official website before either team had confirmed the deal earlier today. Now, however, Milan have announced the move, believed to be worth 20 million Euros, with a video on their twitter account. 

'Los Blancos' have finally found a suitor for Hernández, who leaves the Spanish capital after two years as a Madrid player, although he did spend last season on loan out at Real Sociedad.

Hernández made his way through Atlético Madrid's youth academy before breaking through on loan at Alavés. After these impressive performances at the Basque side, the Frenchman signed for Atleti's eternal rivals Real in summer 2017.

A season in the shadow of Marcelo and another out on loan at Real Sociedad were to follower for the player who cost Real 24 million Euros. Now, after playing just 23 times for the Spanish giants, he leaves to try his luck in Milan.
