Theo Hernandez ready to leave Milan for huge Al-Hilal salary | OneFootball

There are growing reports that Theo Hernandez could accept the €18m per season salary to play for Al-Hilal, with Milan eager to get him off their books.

Multiple sources had already confirmed the proposal was on the table and that the Rossoneri told him to find another club, as the wage demands to extend his contract – which expires in June 2026 – were considered totally unrealistic.

According to MilanNews.it, after realising that there were no other real alternatives from Europe’s top clubs, Theo Hernandez is now leaning towards accepting the proposal from the Saudi Pro League.

They are offering him a whopping €18m per season contract.

Meanwhile, Milan received an offer from Al-Hilal to sell the player for €30m, which is still a big profit, considering he has been at the club since 2019 and cost €22.8m from Real Madrid.

There are some mixed reports here, as Sky Sport Italia say the bid is €35m.

The left-back is approaching his 28th birthday in October and this season contributed five goals with six assists in 49 competitive appearances for the Rossoneri.
