Spanish giants Real Madrid are set to battle Manchester United for the signing of French defender Theo Hernandez.
Real Madrid and Manchester United are looking to add reinforcements to their squads in the coming months, as both clubs are expected to have some exits.
Los Blancos have had defensive issues this season, with star man Eder Militao getting injured. At left back, Ferland Mendy has failed to deliver may eye-catching moments.
Meanwhile, for Manchester United, the club is looking to rebuild following the appointment of Ruben Amorim as coach. With him now in charge, some players are expected to leave, to make space for new ones.
As Manchester United and Real Madrid scour the market, Transfer News Live has reported that both clubs have identified French start Theo Hernandez, who currently plies his trade at AC Milan.
The France International has been a steady performer for the Rossoneri since he joined from Real Sociedad in 2019. He has also been their captain.
Hernandez is one of the best left-backs in the world, and he is valued at €60 million. Signing him would be a big heist due to his quality and his reputation in Milan.
However, with his deal set to expire at the end of next season, AC Milan could be under pressure to sell Hernandez next summer. But for Manchester United to stand a good chances of securing his services, they have to qualify for the UEFA Champions League to be able to stand toe-to-toe with Real Madrid.
