It's not yet official, but Théo Hernandez is getting closer and closer to a departure in Saudi Arabia. According to RMC Sport, its AC Milan transfer to al-Hilal during the summer transfer window would be
“In very good way”. Only a few details would remain to be paid for an operation which should be concluded between the two clubs around 30 million euros.
The choice of French left side (27 years old), currently under contract until 2026 among the Rossoneri, may seem surprising at this stage of his career, but he is understandable given the salary he should receive on the side of Riyadh. The details of his future contract in Saudi Pro League have leaked and the figures indeed give the dizzy somewhat.
Théo Hernandez, a salary multiplied by four!
Also according to RMC Sport, the former defender of Atlético and Real Madrid should commit for three years, until 2028, with the income estimated at 60 million euros over the duration of this lease. This is four times more than it would touch in Italy. What, therefore, make him digest the fact that he will no longer evolve among the largest European clubs.
This new exotic challenge noted by Théo Hernandez is still risky for him. One year before the 2026 World Cup, the tricolor international will not completely disappear from radars, Didier Deschamps having already called N'Golo Kanté while he evolves in Al-Ittihad, but his status as a holder among the Blues would undoubtedly be weakened, or at least disputed.
