Theo Hernandez turned down huge offer in Saudi Arabia

Theo Hernandez did not go to Al Hilal.

Calcio Mercato said Hernandez rejected Al Hilal's salary of up to 20 million euros per year to stay in Europe to play football. Previously, the French defender had his request for a pay rise rejected by AC Milan.

The San Siro team wanted to push Hernandez to Al Hilal to receive a 29 million euro transfer fee plus 5 million euro additional fees, but this deal was not successful.

Hernandez's current contract with Milan expires in June 2026. The Serie A club wants to sell him this summer to avoid losing him for free next summer.

According to AS , Atletico Madrid has unexpectedly become a potential destination for Hernandez in this summer transfer window. Milan is asking for 30 million euros in transfer fees for Hernandez, while Atletico only wants to pay around 15 million euros. The two sides are still looking for common ground in the coming days.

Hernandez is said to be very excited about the prospect of playing in La Liga. AS also considers the French defender an ideal piece for Atletico. Coach Diego Simeone is very aware of Hernandez's potential and sees him as a valuable addition to the squad. In the 2024/25 season, Hernandez made 49 appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 6 assists for Milan.

Hernandez has previous experience playing in Spain for Atletico's academy team as well as the first teams of Real Madrid and Real Sociedad.

At the Bernabeu, Hernandez made 23 appearances in all competitions during the 2017/18 season. However, his inability to compete with Marcelo for a starting spot saw the defender move to Serie A to play for Milan.
