The end of an era at San Siro! Theo Hernandez isn’t an AC Milan player anymore, as the Frenchman signed a three-year deal with the Saudi Al Hilal earlier today, according to which he’ll earn €20 million per season. On the other hand, the Rossoneri received a €25 million compensation.He’s a Blue! ✍️pic.twitter.com/7oxfDEZkrF— AlHilal Saudi Club (@Alhilal_EN) July 10, 2025 Theo’s spell in Milan had its ups and downs. He was one of the key players in the club’s quest for the 2022 Scudetto – its first after 11 years – and his offensive contribution was immense. During his six seasons at San Siro, he made 262 appearances, scored as many as 34 goals, and made 45 assists.Conversely, the fans often criticized him for his defensive lapses, lack of energy, and frequent arrogance on the pitch, especially during the previous season, one of the worst in Milan’s history.Now that all have gone, Rossoneri need top striker – could Nigerian be just what they need?Still, when he arrived from Real Madrid in 2019, Theo was an “uncut gem,” which the Rossoneri transformed into one of the best left-backs in the world, while his cooperation with Rafael Leao was lethal for most opponents.However, the past season clearly showed that “it wasn’t it anymore” and that parting ways would be the best solution.Now, the Rossoneri will be forced to search for a new left-back, as they don’t have a replacement for Theo, while the 27-year-old will probably enjoy this change, as he’s got a chance to shine again in a league of lower quality than Serie A and be lavishly paid for that.##NAJAVA_MECA_9012213##
