Saudi Al Hilal has finalized its agreement with Italian club AC Milan to acquire the services of the impressive French full-back Theo Hernandez, in a massive deal valued at 25 million euros, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The French star is expected to sign his contract with "The Leader" in the coming days, making him one of the key defensive reinforcements under the guidance of Italian coach Simone Inzaghi.

The signing of Hernandez may open the door for the departure of Brazilian Renan Lodi, who has recently excelled with Al Hilal in the FIFA Club World Cup, but indications suggest he is close to being excluded from the squad.

Al Hilal is close to forming a formidable attacking flank, with Theo Hernandez on the left side, alongside Portuguese star Joao Cancelo on the right side, in a comprehensive offensive plan.

This combination gives the team a significant advantage on both defensive and offensive fronts, relying on quick breaks and decisive passes, reaffirming the management's desire to regain prestige and championships.
