French international Theo Hernández is set to join Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, with a deal finalized between the club and AC Milan, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Monday.
The 26-year-old left-back is expected to sign his contract in the coming days, following a verbal agreement reached two weeks ago. AC Milan will reportedly receive a €25 million transfer fee.
Hernández will become the latest European star to join Al Hilal and is expected to play a key role under manager 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 established himself as a key player, playing a vital role in their 2021/22 Serie A title win.
His exit signals a major shift in Milan’s defensive lineup as the club prepares for the upcoming season.
