First Departure, Now Preparing the Suitcases for Kovacic and Theo Hernandez
First, Marcos Llorente left, now Mateo Kovacic and Theo Hernandez are definitively preparing their suitcases, with the latter being presented on Monday in Milan, Italy. The meeting between him and Paolo Maldini bore fruit in Ibiza. Seated, having lunch, and with the waves of the sea by their side, the left-back was persuaded by the former rossonero player to be part of a project that aims to bring the Italian team back to the positions of the past Champions League.
Theo Hernandez will sign a six-season contract on Monday with an offer of 20 million euros net for Real Madrid, who cashes in after the signings of Militao, Luka Jovic, Eden Hazard, and Ferland Mendy in the transfer market. Everything is agreed between the clubs and players, so as soon as the medical exams are passed, the transfer of the former Real Sociedad player will be made official.
While Real Madrid cashes in on its players, Milan hopes to validate a project with good signings, despite violating the 'Financial Fair Play', which has excluded them from the following Europa League. The seven-time European champion qualified for the second most important continental competition for clubs after finishing fifth in Serie A last season.
The sanction imposed on Milan means that Roma, who finished sixth in Serie A, enter the group stage, while their place in the qualifying rounds will be taken by Torino, who finished seventh.
According to UEFA regulations, any club that spends more than its generated income may face sanctions, including a possible ban from participating in competitions organized by the governing body of European football. Well, that doesn't matter to them right now, the plan is to reach the Champions League with quality signings for 2019-2020.
