Saudi Al-Hilal Club has successfully signed French left-back Theo Hernandez from Italian club AC Milan, with a final contract extending until the summer of 2028.

Negotiations took place between the two parties before the start of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, where the player initially rejected the offer, before Al-Hilal's management presented a new massive offer, prompting Theo to welcome the opportunity to join the ranks of the leader.

Al-Hilal announced the completion of the deal officially through a promotional video, without disclosing the financial details, although press reports indicated that the value of the deal reached approximately 25 million euros.

The signing of Theo Hernandez during the current summer transfer window is seen as a step reflecting the management's efforts to strengthen the team's lineup with more experienced players capable of competing in the upcoming season.
