AC Milan and Juventus are considering a swap deal for Theo Hernandez with Dusan Vlahovic, with talks currently at an early stage. Italian outlet Sport Mediaset reports that. AC Milan and Juventus have held preliminary talks over a possible swap of Hernandez and Vlahovic. With both clubs valuing the player at around €30m.
Hernandez’s contract with Milan is in its final year and will not be renewed. While Vlahovic’s contract with Juventus runs until 2026 and will not accept a pay cut in a new deal. So the only solution for both is to leave this summer. ทางเข้า UFABET
New Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has reportedly been in touch with Vlahovic as he looks to bolster his attack. With the Serbian forward also believed to be interested after rejecting an offer from Fenerbahce.
However, the main obstacle is the salary. Hernandez is not a problem for Juventus with a figure of 6 million euros per year. But for Vlahovic, it is difficult for Milan, whose salary is currently at a maximum of 12 million euros per year until next year. Therefore, a transfer would only be possible if the Bianconeri striker is willing to take a pay cut.
The main sticking point is the difference in salary: Hernandez earns €4.5m net plus bonuses, while the Juventus striker earns €12m including bonuses. In other words, from the Serbian’s point of view, a significant pay cut would be necessary.
