Como president strongly hints that rumours of €40m+ Theo Hernandez bid were true | OneFootball

Como president Mirwan Suwarso has strongly hinted that his club made an offer for Theo Hernandez after the reports which stated so.

On January 30, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Como had made ‘a huge offer for Theo Hernandez’ in the last few days, worth over €40m.

The proposal was put forward but was not followed up due to the French player’s refusal to the destination. The Frenchman was not too keen on leaving Champions League football for a side that – then anyway – were still looking over their shoulders.

Nonetheless, amid a winter transfer window that brought Assane Diao, Maxence Caqueret, Butez and Dele Alli to the club by the lake, it certainly showed their ambition.

Suwarso spoke to the microphones of Calcio e Finanza about a number of different topics connected to the ambitions that Como have moving forward and their desire to recruit top talent.

“For example, in the last few days [of the winter mercato] we made an offer for one of the most important players in this league, but the club did not want to sell him,” he said.

“Then we made an offer for a player, also important, and that the club had agreed to sell to us, but the player did not want to come. We are not afraid to make offers for the most important players, but we have to make sure that it fits the budget.”
