Theo Hernandez joins Al Hilal from AC Milan
Al Hilal have added some serious talent to their squad with the signing of France full-back Theo Hernandez from AC Milan. The French international, 27, was confirmed as the Riyadh club's latest recruit on Thursday, penning a three-year contract through until the end of the 2027-28 Roshn Saudi League season. Hernandez brings to Al Hilal a wealth of experience and success at the elite end of European football. During his six years at AC Milan, he won the 2021-22 Serie A title and then, earlier this year, the Italian Super Cup. A dynamic left-back, Hernandez departs the Italian heavyweights after 262 appearances in which he registered 34 goals and 45 assists. Previous to that, he spent two years at Real Madrid and was part of the squad that captured the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League and the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup. Having debuted for France in 2021, the defender helped his country lift the UEFA Nations League that same year, while he was a runner-up at the FIFA World Cup a year later. The most recent of his 38 caps came in last month's UEFA Nations League. New Al Hilal manager Simone Inzaghi knows Hernandez well following the fierce capital derbies during the former's tenure at Inter Milan.

Milan emergency after Brown snub: five full-backs on the radar
Milan emergency after Brown snub: five full-backs on the radar Archie Brown has joined Fenerbahce instead of Milan, so the Rossoneri must sign two new starting full-backs before the start of the season. Brown's decision to snub Milan and join Fenerbahce leaves the Rossoneri in a problematic situation as the Serie A giants must sign two starting full-backs before the beginning of the season.

Brown was regarded as the primary target to replace Theo, but the Englishman moved to Fenerbahce instead. Milan officially kicks off the new season on August 17 in the Coppa Italia against Bari, but Massimiliano Allegri still doesn't have the two starting right-backs.

Advertisement Monaco's Vanderson is even more expensive, so Milan are also looking to Almeria's Pubill, who costs €15m and is also wanted by Wolverhampton. As for the left-back position, Miguel Gutiérrez of Girona is an option, but Milan are offered players in the same position every day. The latest one was Melvin Bard of OGC Nice, but the 24-year-old is not part of the Rossoneri's plans.

Hernandez fires parting shot at AC Milan

(EPA Images pic) ROME : French international Theo Hernandez, who has joined Saudi club Al-Hilal, took a swing at AC Milan's leadership as he bid farewell to the club and its fans on social media. Milan finished eighth in Serie A last season amid vociferous protests from supporters against the club's American owners RedBird. In a farewell post on Instagram, Hernandez, a leftback who can play in midfield, echoed that criticism. 'Milan has always been my priority,' he wrote. 'But, unfortunately, not everything depends on one person. The direction the club has taken and some recent decisions do not reflect the values or ambition that brought me here.' Hernandez, 27, joined Milan in 2019 from Real Madrid. He made 262 appearances for the club scoring 34 goals. 'I am leaving after experiencing unforgettable moments, such as winning Serie A and the Italian Super Cup, and especially after sharing the changing room with extraordinary people,' he wrote. The club went through three coaches last season and has just appointed a fourth, Massimiliano Allegri. Hernandez thanked 'every coach who believed in me', singling out Paolo Maldini, the club's technical director until June 2023, 'for his closeness, vision and leadership'. He also thanked the fans. 'Feeling your support was a privilege that I will never forget and will carry in my heart forever,' he said. 'I am leaving with my head held high,' he wrote. 'I leave with a full heart, and with the hope that very soon Milan will return to the place it deserves. Milan will always be a part of me.'

AC Milan's Theo Hernandez joins Saudi side Al-Hilal
Theo Hernandez is set to bolster the Saudi club's defence with his arrival. (EPA Images pic) PARIS : Saudi club Al-Hilal on Thursday signed AC Milan's French full-back Theo Hernandez on a three-year contract. The 27-year-old leaves the Serie A side in a deal worth €25 million (US$29.2 million), Italian media report. Hernandez has played 38 times for France with two goals and figured in the last World Cup, including the defeat by Argentina on penalties in the 2022 final in Qatar. Moving to the Saudi Pro League a year before the next World Cup could be considered a risk for his chances of getting called up again by coach Didier Deschamps. But he can take encouragement that Deschamps selected N'Golo Kante for Euro 2024 whilst he was playing for another Saudi club, Al-Ittihad. Theo is the younger brother of Paris Saint-Germain and France defender Lucas Hernandez.
