Theo Hernandez swaps Milan for Al Hilal

He could be replaced in the football by the gunner Oleksandr Zinchenko

The French international of Milan Theo Hernandez has accepted the offer of the Saudi Al Hilal and has already informed the "Rossoneri" of his intention to leave the club, writes the newspaper "Gazzetta dello Sport", quoted by BTA.

Al Hilal improved its initial offer to the full-back and is now offering him between 18 and 20 million euros in annual salary. The Saudi Arabian club has offered Milan a sum of 30 million euros to buy the French footballer.

Hernandez is currently on vacation in Sardinia, but tomorrow he will travel to Tuscany for the wedding of his teammate Matteo Gabbia, when his future will become completely clear. Al Hilal's new coach Simone Inzaghi is also pushing for the transfer, having personally assured the Frenchman that he has a place reserved in his squad.

Milan is considering the potential signing of Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko as a replacement for Hernandez, writes Goal.com, quoted by sportal.bg, adding that the Milan giant has already made contact with English club Arsenal.

The 28-year-old Zinchenko is open to a transfer, and the deal would cost less than 20 million euros due to his limited role last season and his expiring contract with the "gunners". The only obstacle could be the player's high salary, but negotiations are ongoing.
