Theo Hernandez is considering a return to Serie A with interest from Como and Juventus after an underwhelming season in Saudi Arabia. His move may be influenced by Champions League opportunities and Andrea Cambiaso's possible exit from Juventus.
Theo Hernandez is being linked with a possible return to Serie A after a season in Saudi Arabia, with Como and Juventus monitoring the French left-back as he weighs up his options after a disappointing campaign at Al-Hilal ended without the Saudi Pro League title, which was instead won by Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via CalcioMercato.it, Como has long admired Hernandez, having previously reached an informal agreement with Milan for a potential transfer, but the player rejected the offer. The prospect of playing in the Champions League under Cesc Fabregas could be a more convincing argument this time around, with Como's debut in Europe's elite competition a real attraction for a player of Hernandez's stature. Juventus' interest is conditional on Andrea Cambiaso's exit, which seems increasingly likely given interest from Barcelona and Chelsea. If Cambiaso leaves, Hernandez would be an experienced and proven Serie A replacement to fill the position on the left wing, a player Luciano Spalletti will know well from his time in Italy and whose profile fits the attacking full-back role the system requires. At 28, Hernandez is in the prime of his career and will likely command a significant salary, but Champions League opportunities from both potential suitors strengthen the Italian's case significantly.
