"Theo Hernandez has opened up about his departure in the summer, stating that he never wanted to leave AC Milan. Instead, he was given an ultimatum by an unnamed director, which forced him to make the decision. Milan agreed to sell the French star to Al Hilal in the summer, banking around €25m in the process. That number could have been a lot higher if it hadn't been for an expiring contract and stalled renewal talks, which ultimately resulted in the decision to part ways."
""He said to me: 'Shall we go and win together?'. I know that at Inter, they called him 'the demon'. On the pitch, he's one person, off it he's another: a gentleman. Every now and then, he makes a joke about the fact that last year I made him lose the Supercoppa here in Riyadh, but even his staff reminds me of the derbies or the duels with Dumfries.""
Theo Hernandez never wanted to leave AC Milan but was given an ultimatum by an unnamed director that forced his decision. AC Milan sold him to Al Hilal for around €25m because his contract was expiring and renewal talks stalled. Milan secured a needed capital gain and avoided committing to a higher salary amid the absence from Champions League football. Reports of a very high salary demand were false. Life in Riyadh is excellent aside from heavy traffic. Inzaghi invited him to "go and win together" and is described as a gentleman on and off the pitch. Hernandez met Milan players before the Napoli Supercoppa match and listed conversations with Allegri, Tare, and Ibra; Furlani did not attend.
