AC Milan left-back Theo Hernández is on the verge of joining Al Hilal, with the transfer expected to be finalised in the coming days. Verbal agreements have been in place since the start of this week, according to Fabrizio Romano. The deal is anticipated to be completed by next week, with all parties reportedly ready to seal the transfer.
Hernández, who plays as a left-back, has been with AC Milan since 2019, when he joined from Real Madrid. He is known for his attacking style of play, often supporting his team’s forwards with overlapping runs down the flank. Prior to joining AC Milan, Hernández had stints with Real Madrid, where he was part of their youth academy, and on loan at various clubs, including Alavés and Real Sociedad.
The development comes after speculation surrounding Hernández’s future at AC Milan had been ongoing, with the player expressing uncertainty about his future at the club after Euro 2024. However, in July 2024, Zlatan Ibrahimović, AC Milan’s then sporting director, had confirmed that Hernández would be staying at the club. It appears that Hernández has since reconsidered his options, with Al Hilal emerging as his likely destination, as reported on June 23, when sources indicated that Al Hilal were close to signing the player.
