WHAT HAPPENED?

Both clubs confirmed the transfer on Thursday. Hernández, who is 27, had a medical check in Paris before signing with Al Hilal. He leaves AC Milan with 262 appearances, 34 goals, and 45 assists. He was important in Milan’s 2021-22 Serie A title win and often attacked well from the left side.

AL HILAL’S AMBITIONS

Al Hilal are bringing Hernández to a team led by Simone Inzaghi, the head coach since June. The Saudi Pro League team wants to build on their recent wins. They finished second in the league last season behind Al Ittihad and reached the AFC Champions League final. Hernández joining is part of their plan to sign big-name European players for more success at home and in Asia.

Al Hilal are the last season’s Saudi Pro League champions.

MILAN LOOKS FORWARD

AC Milan now have a big task in replacing Hernández. Last season, they finished eighth in Serie A, missing out on the Champions League. With all the focus in the Serie A ahead next season, Milan must quickly strengthen their left side to stay competitive. They have a pre-season friendly against Real Betis next, preparing for the upcoming Serie A season, as fans eagerly await new players.

According to a previous report, AC Milan aims to qualify for Europe in the upcoming Serie A season.

Al Hilal begin their season as champions and should do well in the league. They open against Al Ahli, who finished fourth last year. Both teams’ performances in upcoming games will shape their seasons.
