Real Madrid Exploring Theo Hernandez Return Amid Left-Back Concerns
Real Madrid’s left-back position has emerged as a pressing issue this season. Regular starter Ferland Mendy has delivered underwhelming performances, and his backup, Fran Garcia, has struggled to impress. The situation prompted Carlo Ancelotti to make a bold decision in Sunday’s victory over Sevilla, opting to play Eduardo Camavinga out of position at left-back.
Real Madrid’s Left-Back Dilemma
The club has been eyeing a long-term solution for the left-back role, with Alphonso Davies being a top target. However, Davies appears increasingly likely to extend his contract with Bayern Munich, forcing Real Madrid to explore alternative options for the summer transfer window.
Theo Hernandez Emerges as a Target
According to TEAMtalk (via El Desmarque), Real Madrid is now seriously considering re-signing Theo Hernandez from AC Milan. Hernandez, who left the Santiago Bernabeu in 2019, has seen his prominence at AC Milan diminish in recent months. With his contract set to expire in 2026, the Frenchman could be available at a reduced price next summer.
A Strategic Signing for Real Madrid
Bringing Theo Hernandez back to Madrid could prove to be a masterstroke. At 27, he is in the prime of his career and offers both experience and years of top-level football ahead. If Real Madrid can secure his services at a bargain price, it would address their left-back concerns while reuniting the club with a player who has since become one of Europe’s most dynamic full-backs.
