Theo Hernandez Seeks Return to Italy with Juventus Interest

French defender Theo Hernandez has opened the door for a return to Serie A after informing Al Hilal of his desire to leave during the current summer transfer window, with Juventus emerging as one of the main clubs interested in securing his services. Reports indicate that the player is open to a move, even on loan, if a permanent transfer cannot be agreed upon.

According to Italian sources, Theo Hernandez has been offered to Juventus in recent days, as the club explores the possibility of signing him to bolster their left-back position. However, negotiations are facing a significant financial obstacle related to the player's annual salary.

The French international earns around €20 million annually with Al Hilal, while Juventus cannot exceed a wage cap of about €7 million per season. This makes the completion of the transfer dependent on all parties reaching a suitable financial agreement, whether through Al Hilal contributing to part of the salary or the player agreeing to lower his financial demands.

Theo Hernandez joined Al Hilal from AC Milan in the summer of 2025, but his future has become a topic of speculation following his wish to seek a new experience and return to competing in Europe. Juventus is awaiting developments in the situation before taking official steps to finalize the deal during the remaining summer transfer window.
