Pulisic to lose two key team-matesMilan set to offload Hernandez and TomoriSerie A club wants to fund new summer signingsFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
USMNT star Pulisic could be set to lose two key team-mates this summer, with a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport claiming that AC Milan are planning to offload left-back Hernandez and centre-back Tomori in order to fund a squad overhaul. The Serie A giants are not convinced of the defensive duo's performances this season and believe their time at the San Siro has come to an end.

Hernandez, whose contract expires in 2026, is set to enter the final year of his deal, and without an extension, the Rossoneri may be forced to sell this summer to avoid losing him for nothing. Milan, who once sought €50m-€60m for the Frenchman, may now accept offers in the range of €30m (£25.6m/$32.7m).
Meanwhile, Tomori’s future is uncertain. Despite being under contract until 2027, he has seen limited action and has been linked with a Premier League return. Juventus reportedly made an offer in January for a €30m package.

The report from Gazzetta further mentioned that Milan are also open to selling other players like Yunus Musah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Samuel Chukwueze, and Emerson Royal if suitable offers arrive. On the other hand, Milan hope to cash in on buy-options for the on-loan Pierre Kalulu and Ismael Bennacer, at Juventus and Marseille, respectively, while Alexis Saelemaekers could be sold after a successful loan at Roma.
