Theo Hernandez, who was previously suspended due to a red card, is back in action and has been given the captain’s armband for this Champions League clash. However, there are uncertainties surrounding his future as contract negotiations are at a standstill. As a result, Milan is exploring other options, with De Cuyper being seen as a potential successor to Hernandez.
De Cuyper has been on Milan’s radar for some time, with reports suggesting that the club’s director Geoffrey Moncada had already scouted him during the Nations League draw between Italy and Belgium earlier this month. The speculated asking price for De Cuyper is around €20m, which could increase if he delivers a strong performance in European competitions.
It will be interesting to see how De Cuyper fares in tonight’s match and whether he can showcase his skills to impress Milan’s management. The young player has the opportunity to prove himself on a big stage like San Siro, and his performance could potentially influence Milan’s decision on pursuing him as a future talent for the club. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as the match unfolds.
