The future of Mario Hermoso could be defined soon, as his agents are in Italy negotiating with two of the biggest clubs in Serie A: Inter and Milan. After unsuccessful talks with Napoli, the Spanish defender's representatives are now looking at new destinations for their client.
Hermoso, 29, is currently without a club after his contract with Atletico Madrid expired, making him an attractive signing for several teams looking to strengthen their defense without incurring transfer costs.
Italian Giants Want to Sign Mario Hermoso
The player's agents arrived in Milan this week and have held meetings with executives from Inter and Milan, both keen on adding a quality defender to their ranks, especially one with Hermoso's versatility, capable of playing both as a center-back and left-back. The need to bolster the defense is particularly urgent for these clubs, as they aim to compete in the Champions League and require squad depth for the challenging upcoming season.
However, signing Hermoso is not straightforward. Despite being a free agent, the player demands a significant signing fee, complicating negotiations. This factor was pivotal in the breakdown of talks with Napoli and might pose a hurdle for Inter and Milan as well. Other Italian clubs like Roma, Bologna, and Juventus have shown interest in Hermoso previously but have chosen not to proceed with negotiations, possibly due to similar financial reasons.
