Theo Hernández Nears Al Hilal Move as Milan Await Final Green Light

Theo Hernández is getting closer to joining Al Hilal after weeks of talks. AC Milan and the Saudi team have agreed on a deal. Now, Hernández needs to decide. If he says yes, he will leave Italy and start a new chapter in the Saudi Pro League.

WHAT HAPPENED?

AC Milan and Al Hilal have settled on a transfer fee between €30 million and €35 million for Hernández. He wanted to return to Atletico Madrid, but that didn’t work out. Milan didn’t want to lose him for free in 2026 when his contract ends. So, they accepted Al Hilal’s offer.

Hernández is now interested in the move. Talks with the Saudi champions are moving fast. He didn’t accept Milan’s new contract because the pay was less. This makes a transfer very likely soon.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Since 2019, Hernández has been one of Europe’s best left-backs. He moved from Real Madrid to Milan. He’s scored 34 goals and given 45 assists in 262 matches. He helped Milan win the 2022 Serie A and this year’s Supercoppa Italiana. Milan finished third last season and will play in the Champions League next year.

Meanwhile, Al Hilal dominated the Saudi Pro League with new coach Simone Inzaghi. They are building a team full of stars to keep winning.

WHAT’S NEXT?

If Hernández moves, Milan will look for a new left-back. They might consider Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko. Milan’s next big game will likely be their first match of pre-season. They want to win the Serie A again. Al Hilal is strengthening their team for the new Saudi Pro League season. They want to stay on top and do well in the AFC Champions League. Once Hernández agrees, the deal could be announced soon.
