Theo Hernández Joins Al Hilal

Al Hilal continues to make waves in the global football scene. Following a string of high-profile signings, the Saudi powerhouse has added another world-class talent to its ranks: Theo Hernández. The French left-back, known for his blistering pace, attacking flair, and rock-solid defense, has officially joined Al Hilal, marking a bold new chapter in both his career and the club's ambitious project.

From San Siro to Riyadh

After five successful seasons with AC Milan, where he established himself as one of the top full-backs in world football, Theo now brings his elite-level experience and winning mentality to the Roshn Saudi League. At Milan, he played a key role in the club’s return to the top of Italian football, including their Serie A title win in 2021/22 and consistent performances in the Champions League.

His move to Al Hilal represents more than just a change of scenery – it’s a statement. The club continues to attract global stars, showing their intent not only to dominate domestically but also to shine on the continental and international stage.

A Perfect Fit for Al Hilal's Style

Theo’s dynamic style of play, combining relentless energy with attacking precision, fits perfectly into Al Hilal’s modern, aggressive approach. With world-class talent across the pitch, his addition strengthens an already formidable squad and gives manager Jorge Jesus even more options in building a fluid, high-tempo system.

A Message to the Fans

In his first words as an Al Hilal player, Theo expressed his excitement:

“I’m proud to join one of the biggest clubs in Asia. I’ve seen what Al Hilal is building, and I want to be part of this journey. I can’t wait to meet the fans and give everything on the pitch.”


As the new season approaches, all eyes will be on Riyadh to see how this exciting signing unfolds. One thing is certain: Theo Hernández is ready to light up the league in blue.
