[Assumption] Are Atletico Madrid Capable of Signing Theo Hernandez?
The news that Atletico Madrid is looking to sign Theo Hernandez might sound fancy, but is it realistic? Let’s churn out the facts. According to Football Espana, Atletico will be keen to spend around 15 million pounds on Theo.
In clarification, Atletico states he will be a free agent in less than 12 months. Although Theo will be a perfect fit in the team, they are planning to rope in Alex Baena and Cristian Romero, too.

[Breaking News] Atletico Madrid Signs Theo Hernandez
According to the news published in Goal.com on 11th June, Theo takes the deal of Atletico Madrid. Although there were lucrative offers from Al Hilal, Theo finalised that he is willing to stay in Europe.
On the other end of the dial, Milan weren’t too happy with the price being offered but with time constraint, they weren’t keen to lose Theo Hernandez as free will.
Added to that the final offer has been settled down at 23 million pounds along with added bonuses. Atletico is on the advantage as they have signed the deal in way less than his market value which is 40 million pounds.
The Spanish club has also made two other signings: Clement Lenglet from Barcelona and Juan Musso from Atalanta

Now that Theo Hernandez has agreed upon the deal with Atletico Madrid, the left-back needs to show his defending skills in the upcoming Club World Cup, against PSG.
Looking at the career graph of Theo, he has enjoyed his time in Spain, so in my point of view, this will be an easy transition, rather than the initial speculation of transfer to Al Hilal.
Although Milan would have loved nothing more than to bring in a bigger cheque, letting him go on free was never an option so rather they have settled.
