Report: Theo Hernandez offered to Juventus Hernandez left Milan last summer to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal in a massively lucrative deal, with some reports at the time claiming that the Frenchman would receive a €20m-per-season salary during his time in Riyadh.
However, according to reports from Tuttosport, Hernandez’s time in Saudi Arabia could already be coming towards an end. That is because he will turn 29 this autumn and is said to be keen on the idea of having another crack in Europe. Al-Hilal, meanwhile, are reportedly prepared to sanction his exit this summer, even on a temporary loan deal.
Tuttosport claims that Hernandez’s agent, Manuel Garcia Quilon, has offered the French left-back to several sides in Serie A including Juventus and Napoli. Reports elsewhere claim that Como have also been offered the Theo Hernandez opportunity .

Massara knows Hernandez well from his time working as Milan’s sporting director between 2019 and 2023.
However, Tuttosport also adds that Juventus are only likely to make a serious move for Theo Hernandez in the event that Andrea Cambiaso decides to leave the club this summer. And, as things stand, there have been no concrete offers for the Italian, despite reports of interest from the likes of Como, Barcelona and previously Manchester City.

What happened
Theo Hernandez, who joined Al-Hilal from AC Milan in 2025, appears to be on his way out of the Saudi Pro League after failing to settle. The French left-back has been offered to Juventus, who are in the market for defensive reinforcements. Al-Hilal are prepared to sanction the exit, making a return to Serie A plausible. Juventus would benefit from Hernandez's experience and attacking quality down the left flank, though financial terms and wage demands remain key considerations.
Chance analysis
This is a significant potential transfer for Serie A. Hernandez, still a top-level left-back when fit and motivated, would be a major upgrade for Juventus on the left side of defense. However, his departure from Al-Hilal after a short stint raises questions about his current form, motivation, and whether his wage demands (likely inflated by the Saudi deal) align with Juventus's budget constraints. The move would be a statement signing but carries risk given his recent trajectory.
If completed, Juventus gain a high-quality attacking left-back, while Al-Hilal free up wages and a squad spot.
Monitor this transfer closely as it would significantly strengthen Juventus's defensive options if completed, but uncertainty remains until terms are agreed.
