Theo Hernandez is off to Saudi Arabia! AC Milan pocket €25m transfer fee as French full-back agrees to join Al-Hilal after failing to secure European move

AC Milan

Arsenal

<p>Milan have reached an agreement with Al-Hilal for the transfer of Hernandez, according to multiple reports, including <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1942146980995641682" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a> and Sky Italy. The Saudi Pro League club will pay €25m (£21m/$27m) for the 27-year-old full-back, who has agreed personal terms and is set to undergo a medical in Saudi Arabia. The French international will earn a salary of €20m (£17m/$21.5m).</p>

Atletico Madrid had tried to bring him back to the Spanish capital, but negotiations with Milan broke down. With his contract set to expire in 2026, Milan prioritised a sale to prevent losing him for free next year.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 27-year-old will unite with Simone Inzaghi at Al-Hilal as the Italian coach left Inter at the end of the season to take charge of the Saudi side. The likes of Joao Cancelo and Sergej-Milinkovic Savic, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Ruben Neves are also at the club.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Milan will now look to reinvest the money received from the sale, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-loss-oleksandr-zinchenko-fulham-10m-bid-ac-milan-interest/blt96ac3e726f9bae64" target="_blank">Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko high on their list of targets</a>.</p>
