Italian media outlet 'Sky Sport' claims that Atletico are interested in bringing back Theo Hernandez, who they sold to Real Madrid in the summer of 2017 for around 26 million euros. The Spanish lcub, 6 years after that, would have been interested in the left-back, although the 80 million demanded by AC Milan make the operation really complicated.

The Metropolitano side are looking for reinforcements at the back and they are thinking about a player with a 'Colchoneros' background, or at least that's what they say in Italy. According to 'Sky Sport', Theo Hernandez is on Diego Simeone's shortlist.

According to this source, Atletico are reportedly interested in the situation of the player who was their player until the summer of 2017. He would be another bidder for the player, who is also wanted by Manchester United. For his profile, he would fit in with what the Argentine is looking for for the 2023/24.

Whether or not the Spanish club are interested in his return, the operation seems practically impossible. And the fact is that, in order to let him leave, Milan are asking for 80 million, a figure that Atletico cannot afford.

This summer there will not be too many signings at the 'Colchoneros', but the club are looking for some reinforcements. Reinildo Mandava has spent a good part of the season injured and Simeone does not want this to happen again next season.

From Italy they put on the table the name of Theo Hernandez, who this season has played 45 games for the 'Rossoneri' in which he has scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists. He has recovered his best version, that is undoubted, it remains to be seen if Atletico decide to knock on his door.
