There were no complaints when Milan acquired the Spaniard in the summer, and most people thought the Rossoneri made a wise move by giving the club's young players, if not its veteran players, competition.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's declaration that he was supposed to be Theo Hernandez's deputy this season increased his prospects of competing in the first team, but this hasn't happened. Paulo Fonseca has instead turned his attention elsewhere, and the returning full-back's lack of playing time has drawn criticism. Given that his Futuro minutes have frequently been productive, it shouldn't affect performances; perhaps the Portuguese head coach simply prefers it that way. However, a move elsewhere could now be imminent. Following Thierry Correia's injury, Valencia is considering a move for the young defender, according to AS (via Milan News).
