Al-Hilal are still actively pursuing a deal to sign Milan left-back Theo Hernandez, with the player now reportedly open to joining former Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi at the Saudi Pro League club.

According to what has been reported by Gianluca Di Marzio this evening, Hernandez has shown a willingness to join the Saudi club and Al-Hilal are ready to work on an agreement with both Milan and the player.

In the next few days, Hernandez will reportedly consider the option – after Di Marzio reports that the Frenchman was initially hesitant to move to Al-Hilal.

An end of an era for Theo Hernandez at Milan

Since signing for the Rossoneri from Real Madrid in 2019, Theo Hernandez has played 262 games in all competitions and has been a strong part of the club. In the 2024-25 season, Hernandez only missed five Serie A games but it appears his time in Italy may be coming to an end.

Al-Hilal will sit down with the player’s representatives in the coming days as they hope to come to a suitable arrangement but the Saudi side are clearly determined to reward Inzaghi with one of Serie A’s best defenders.
