Theo Hernandez has almost sealed his move to Saudi giants Al-Hilal after completing medical tests in Paris. The French left-back passed his fitness checks as the final step before joining the Middle Eastern powerhouse. AC Milan agreed to sell their star defender for 25 million euros during the summer transfer window. Al-Hilal president Fahd bin Nafel flew to Paris to wrap up the deal personally. Sky Sports confirmed the transfer talks have reached the final stages.

The 27-year-old defender will pen a three-year contract keeping him at Al-Hilal until 2028. He becomes the first foreign player signed by new manager Simone Inzaghi at the Saudi club. Hernandez initially turned down the Saudi approach after talking with his family about the move. The player changed his mind when Al-Hilal offered him a massive pay packet. The club expects to announce the signing within hours.

Al-Hilal wants to add more firepower to their attack after missing out on Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker looks set to join Turkish side Galatasaray instead of moving to Saudi Arabia. Hernandez brings pace and attacking threat from the left flank to boost their title chances. The French international has been a key player for both club and country in recent seasons. His arrival signals Al-Hilal's intent to dominate Saudi football again.
