With Star Left-back Theo Hernandez on the way out, and not to Atletico Madrid, AC Milan is looking for a new defender for their left flank. They believe that the answer can be in La Liga again.
According to Daniele Longo, AC Milan has made an offer for Girona left back Miguel Gutierrez. The 23-year-old. The Spain International is available for € 25 million, according to the information from Longo, and he reminds that Real Madrid has 50% sale on Gutierrez. There had been some speculation that Los Blancos could have activated their return option on the Castilla product this summer, but that idea was brought to bed tightly by their pursuit of Alvaro Carreras.
The media was announced that Gutierrez would have been open for a switch back to Real Madrid, but otherwise the interest in him was relatively quiet last season, because Girona struggled to replicate their form of last year. Nevertheless, Gutierrez has remained one of their best artists, and indeed one of the best in his position in La Liga this season.
Gutierrez was previously associated with a number of teams, with Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Arsenal and many more all scouts to watch him during the last two campaigns.
Even if the deal were to be completed for € 25 million, and both Girona and Real Madrid would split the money, the Catalans would still make a profit of € 8.5 million on GUuterrriez. Nevertheless, it is far away from the figures around his release clause of € 40 million mentioned last summer.
Michel Sanchez will be desperate on movement in that department when Gutierrez leaves. He is not only a specialist there, but has been one of their most consistent and best players in the past three seasons. His 112 performances, six goals and 19 assists earned him another five for Spain at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, in which he managed to score and take a gold medal home.
