Theo Hernandez agrees whopping €20m salary to join Al-Hilal after Saudi side agree €30m fee with AC Milan

Milan are set to earn €30 million (£25m/$35m) from the sale of the defender, who is in Paris for his medical, according to L'Equipe. The Frenchman initially hoped to stay in Europe, but has given the green light to a Saudi Arabia switch.

Despite having their initial offer turned down by the full-back, the Saudi club persisted with Hernandez and have finally convinced him to make the switch after agreeing on a €20 million (£17m/$23m) per year salary.

Hernandez had agreed terms with Spanish club Atletico Madrid but they failed to agree a transfer fee with Milan.

Al-Hilal will hope to complete Hernandez's transfer as quickly as possible in hopes to register him for the rest of the Club World Cup, with a new registration window opening up from June 27 to July 3. For Hernandez, he will join up with familiar faces in the form of ex-Inter manager Simone Inzaghi and former team-mate Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
