The emotion was palpable in Clairefontaine on Monday evening, when the seven finalists of the Champions League arrived. Many hugs and congratulations. An embrace was particularly intense, that of Théo Hernandez for his big brother Lucas, winner of his second Champions League on Saturday.

The two brothers have had a complicated season. Consequence for Lucas Hernandez of the serious knee injury he was the victim last spring. If he returned to competition at the beginning of winter, it took him time before finding all his sensations and the former Munichois must have most often been satisfied with a replacement role behind Nuno Mendes.

Théo Hernandez was also worth this season. After a very disappointing first part of the season compared to his standards, the Marseillais by birth, accused by a former paparazzi of having hit two women in a nightclub at the start of the year, lost the captain's armband at the arrival of Sergio Conceiçao and given his time of playing.

AC Milan agree with al-Hilal

Basic man of the champion title won in 2022, Théo Hernandez no longer seems to enter the plans of the Lombard club. So much so, according to foot transfer window, that the tricolor left side, under contract until 2026, should leave the Rossoneri during the summer.

A destination emerges: Saudi Arabia. AC Milan would have already reached an agreement with al-Hilal where Kalidou Koulibaly, Malcom or Sergej Milinkovic-Savic evolve. The Saudi club would indeed be ready to pay 30 million euros to buy the last year of contract from the world's vice-champion. However, the leaders of Al-Hilal remains to agree with the player. While the Saudi camp so far offers him a salary of 15 million euros annually, Théo Hernandez claims 20 million.
