AC Milan Director Paolo Maldini Held A Meeting With A Real Madrid Player In Ibiza

Zinedine Zidane has outlined his plans to get rid of 15 players from his squad and one of them could be heading to AC Milan.

Real Madrid have wasted no time this summer transfer window as the club have snapped up Luka Jovic, Eden Hazard and Ferland Mendy, among others, in a mega splurge.

But in order to balance his books, Zidane is set to trim his team by offloading unwanted players.

The likes of Gareth Bale, Sergio Reguilon and Dani Ceballos to name but a few have been linked with a move away from the Spanish capital, not to mention Theo Hernandez who held a meeting with AC Milan's director Paolo Maldini in Ibiza.

Hernandez signed a six-year deal at Real Madrid after they met his £21 million release clause in 2017.

However, the 21-year-old has failed to nail down a spot with the left-back enjoying a loan spell away from the club last season.

He played 20 La Liga games for Real Sociedad with AC Milan keen on acquiring his services for the 2019/20 season.

Further reports claim Real Madrid are open to a loan deal with an option to buy for £16-20 million.
