Transfer: Theo Hernández nears Al Hilal move in €25m deal

French international Theo Hernández is on the verge of completing a move to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, with a deal now sealed between the club and AC Milan, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Monday.

The left-back is expected to sign his contract in the coming days after a verbal agreement was reached two weeks ago. AC Milan will reportedly receive a €25 million transfer fee for the 26-year-old.

Hernández will become the latest addition to Al Hilal’s growing list of European stars and will be a key figure in the squad managed by Simone Inzaghi.

“Theo Hernández to Al Hilal, here we go! Agreement now being sealed after verbal pact made two weeks ago. AC Milan will receive €25m transfer fee as Theo will sign his contract in the upcoming days. New left back for Simone Inzaghi,” Romano wrote.

The former Real Madrid defender joined AC Milan in 2019 and quickly became one of the club’s standout performers, helping them secure the Serie A title in the 2021/22 season.

His departure marks a significant change in Milan’s defensive setup ahead of the new campaign.
