Theo Hernández, a 28-year-old left-back for Al-Hilal, has offered himself to become a new player for Juventus de Turin and Napoli to return to Serie A during this summer transfer window. The Frenchman has a contract until June 2028 and earns around €20 million net per season, the main obstacle for the deal.

Juventus has responded to the offer and is studying the necessary conditions to proceed. A loan appears as one of the possible formulas, as the Italian club has set around €7 million per year as the salary limit for their squad.

Theo Hernández reopens the path to Juventus de Turin

The relationship between Theo Hernández and Frederic Massara may facilitate initial contacts. The current sporting director of Juventus de Turin previously worked at Milan and was involved in building the team that won the Serie A in 2022. In fact, he was already rumored to arrive in Turin last January.

The full-back left Milan in the summer of 2025 when Al-Hilal paid around €25 million for his transfer. He signed a three-season contract, so the Saudi club still has two years of control over his future.

Theo Hernández played 44 matches in his first season in Saudi Arabia, with 9 goals and 6 assists. Al-Hilal won the national cup and finished second in the league, behind Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.

These numbers maintain the interest of European clubs, but his salary complicates any transfer. The €20 million net he receives exceed by around €13 million the reference salary set by Juventus for Kenan Yildiz, around €7 million per season.

Al-Hilal can facilitate a loan

A permanent departure would require the player to give up a significant portion of his earnings or for Al-Hilal to provide compensation. The alternative would be a loan with shared salary, a formula that would allow Juventus to reduce the immediate cost.

Agent Manuel García Quilón also plans to present Theo Hernández's name to other European teams. The goal is to find a club that competes at the highest level and can approach the economic conditions agreed upon in Saudi Arabia.

Napoli appears as the second Italian destination he has been offered to. The presence of Massimiliano Allegri, who already knows the player from his time at Milan, adds a sporting avenue, although no formal proposal is yet confirmed.

Andrea Cambiaso may pave the way in Serie A

The arrival of Theo Hernández would be linked to the future of Andrea Cambiaso. Juventus does not rule out selling the Italian international if they receive an offer that can finance part of the deal and free up a spot at left-back.

Barcelona, Chelsea, Inter, and Como have made inquiries about Cambiaso, although no agreement has been reached yet. The player, under contract in Turin, has publicly stated that his initial scenario is to continue.

Juventus must first decide whether to start the process of Cambiaso's departure and how much salary they can take on. Then, negotiations would be held with Al-Hilal for a loan or transfer, while Theo Hernández would need to lower his €20 million annual salary to complete his return to Serie A.
