Frenchman Theo Hernandez, the left-back of Italian club AC Milan, is on the verge of officially joining Saudi club Al Hilal after undergoing a medical examination in the French capital, Paris, in preparation for completing his transfer in the summer transfer window of 2025.

According to what was reported by the global network "Sky Sports", Hernandez underwent medical tests in the past few hours as part of the final procedures for his transfer to the leader, after a complete agreement between the player and the club on all details.

Al Hilal's president, Fahd bin Nafel, was recently in Paris to finalize the deal officially, where the Al Hilal administration reached an agreement with AC Milan to sign Hernandez for 25 million euros.

Al Hilal is expected to announce the deal within hours, as Theo will sign a contract that extends until the summer of 2028, thus becoming the first foreign signing for Al Hilal in the ongoing summer transfer market under the new coach Simone Inzaghi.

Notably, the French player initially rejected the idea of moving to the Saudi league after internal family discussions, before later changing his stance and giving the green light for the deal after receiving a massive financial offer from Al Hilal's management.

The Al Hilal administration is seeking to bolster the team with a major attacking player in the upcoming phase, especially after failing to reach an agreement with Nigerian Victor Osimhen, the Napoli striker, who is now close to moving to Turkish club Galatasaray.
