The week that has just started should be the one that sees Theo Hernandez complete a move to Al-Hilal, according to a report.
As MilanNews report, after days of contacts, negotiations and phone calls, Al-Hilal have accelerated for the French full-back, presenting a very rich offer to both the player and the club.

A definitive agreement between the two clubs is still missing, but the feeling is that the deal could be completely closed in the next few hours, with Theo destined to say goodbye to Milan after six intense and high-impact seasons.
A mutually beneficial separation
Milan, for their part, have taken note of the player’s desire to take on a new challenge, despite an offer that, if compared to a few years ago, today seems paltry compared to Theo’s value in past seasons.
It is the sign that a cycle has ended: Theo was a symbol of the Rossoneri rebirth protagonist of the 2021-22 Scudetto win and capable of causing havoc with his runs down the left. The goal against Atalanta is unforgettable, in one of the most important matches in the recent history of the Rossoneri.
Now, however, it seems the time has come to look forward. Milan are already working to find a suitable replacement, aware that the left side will be left without one of its most talented players in recent years.
The deal with Al-Hilal therefore represents not only the end of a journey, but also the beginning of a new phase for Max Allegri’s team, which will have to remodel itself without a key player on its chessboard.
Either way, Theo is preparing to move to Saudi Arabia, with the Diavolo getting €25m plus bonuses. It is a final choice that probably makes all parties happy.
