Any hesitation is gone, and the agreements are essentially all in place: Theo Hernandez is preparing to leave AC Milan. The lure of Saudi Arabia and the influence of Simone Inzaghi ultimately prevailed, leading him to decide to depart the Rossoneri and accept the offer from Saudi club Al Hilal.
Theo Hernandez`s initial reluctance about changing his life and moving to the `land of camels` is now entirely overcome. The transfer fee for Theo Hernandez from Milan to Al Hilal is expected to be around 25 million euros, plus bonuses. Simone Inzaghi also played a decisive role, personally working to convince him.
The path Milan is now exploring to replace Theo Hernandez leads to the Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko. He rose to prominence at Manchester City and has been an Arsenal player since the summer of 2022, where he is under contract until 2026. Zinchenko`s profile is highly appreciated, particularly his ability to cover multiple roles.
