There is a lot that needs to be unpacked with Theo’s situation, and that doesn’t do the situation justice. He wants to leave to a European club, but no one will pay what he is worth. Milan want to sell him, but no one will pay what he is worth.
Well, no one suitable.
Saudi Arabian interest
There is, of course, some teams that can pay what he is worth, and Al Hilal are the big suitors. Simone Inzaghi is a big fan of his, and he has even spoken to the Frenchman. However, the defender seemingly has no interest in a move to the Middle East.
Despite this, discussions are still ongoing, with both teams holding out for a change of heart, according to Fabrizio Romano. Their offer is still on the table – €35 million, inclduing bonuses – and it will remain there for now.
Considering the threat of the bench is very much there to be used, Theo may have to take the move for his sake. After all, a year in Saudi Arabia is better than one spent rotting on the substitute bench or the reserves amid the World Cup.
