Theo Hernandez approached, Como made shock 40m offer to big Milan star

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Serie A strugglers Como offered €40m to sign Milan left-back Theo Hernandez, but that it was rejected.

The remarkable story insists that Como, who are backed by a rich Indonesian owner and made their move to the top flight this season after starting in Serie D, believed they could get the France international.

The offer was reportedly made over the last few days when there was marked tension between Theo Hernandez and Milan hierarchy, including coach Sergio Conceicao.

It was not even taken into consideration by the Rossoneri or the player, but it shows that Cesc Fabregas felt he could tempt such a star name to his club.

Theo Hernandez no intention of leaving Milan

There is something of a clear-out in progress at San Siro in January, with Alvaro Morata reported to be on the verge of a transfer to Galatasaray, while Francesco Camarda is heading to Monza on loan.

Davide Calabria has also received a proposal from Bologna, as his contract is running down and he was in a very public row with coach Conceicao last week.
