Diario AS: Atletico's Theo Hernandez prefers Barcelona
Theo Hernández has an offer on the table from Real Madrid
Barça are also keen on the defender and have been since last summer
FC Barcelona have made a formal offer to Theo Hernandez in very similar terms to the one the Atletico Madrid defender has received from Real Madrid.
According to Diario AS, Barça's offer to Theo, on loan at Alaves, is of more interest to the player. The defender has a release clause of 24 million euros.
The same report, though, suggests that Real Madrid have a verbal agreement with Theo. Los Blancos would pay the 24 million and then offer a contract worth 35 million over five season: six million in 2017-18 and 2018-19, rising by one million each season untul 2021-22.
It's an offer that Barcelona have also made, albeit with slightly inferior qualities.
Despite that, Theo has doubts. His agent, Manuel García Quilón, according to AS, would prefer the player to move to Barça, as would Atletico Madrid. Theo would be keen, too, with Barcelona's interest stemming back to last summer.
