Theo Hernandez's agent, Manuel Garcia Quilon, has confirmed that the defender plans to stay at Milan and extend his contract with the Rossoneri.
Hernandez, who joined Milan from Real Madrid in 2019, has made 231 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring 31 goals and providing a further 41 assists.
But the Frenchman has struggled to find form under new head coach Paulo Fonseca, despite appearing in 10 of 12 games for Milan in Serie A this season.
He has created just 15 chances for his teammates in the league this season and was an unused substitute in Milan's goalless draw against Genoa on Sunday.
However, Hernandez has amassed the most attacking series involvements (56) of any Milan defender this season.
Hernandez's contract does not expire until 2026, but there are rumors that his future at San Siro could be in jeopardy.
However, Quilon, who arrived at Casa Milan for a meeting on Monday, told reporters that Hernandez was keen to agree new terms at the club.
“We did not discuss a contract extension, but about tax matters,” Quilon said.
“The intention is very clear, namely that he stays and signs a new contract. We've said it before.”
Regarding the decision to drop Hernandez, which is not the first time Fonseca has done this season, Quilon respected the Milan head coach and his decision.
“These are not decisions that are up to the player. He respects his teammates and when one player is on the field, the other is inevitably not,” Quilon added.
“It also happened with Rafael Leao. We have to respect the coach's decisions.”
