According to renowned Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal have finally reached a verbal agreement with Theo Hernandez over a sensational move to the Saudi Pro League.

The Saudi club had previously seen their initial approach rejected, with the French international reportedly unwilling to leave European football — even though AC Milan had already given the green light for the transfer.

However, it appears Al Hilal came back with a significantly improved offer that turned the tide. One possible game-changer? The recent appointment of Simone Inzaghi as head coach earlier in June, which may have helped convince the left-back to reconsider his stance.

Sources close to the negotiation say Al Hilal are now pushing to finalize the paperwork within the next 48 hours to avoid any last-minute complications.
