France international Theo Hernandez has completed a move to Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal. He recently ended his six-year tenure at AC Milan, and fans have been reacting.
Speaking via a press statement on Instagram, Hernandez blasted the Italian club’s hierarchy, accusing them of failing to match his ambition and disregarding the values that once defined AC Milan.
According to him, while his decision to leave the club was a very tough one, the direction AC Milan has taken in recent times forced him to seek a new chapter in his football career.
Theo stated that he’ll be leaving AC Milan with his head held high because he never stopped giving everything for the club.
“My decision to leave was not an easy one.
I always knew where I wanted to be, and AC Milan has always been my priority. But, unfortunately, not everything depends on one person. The direction the club has taken and some recent decisions do not reflect the values or ambition that brought me here. It’s time to close one chapter and begin another—different, but equally important to me.
I leave with my head held high because I have always given everything for this club, committing myself fully and sharing the same dreams as these fans. I leave with a full heart and with the hope that AC Milan will soon return to the place it deserves. Milan will always be a part of me. Forza Milan Always,” he said.
The Frenchman further appreciated his Milan teammates and every coach he played under during his time in Italy.
He concluded by saying that he’ll never forget Paolo Maldini’s magnificent support, vision, and leadership.
“After six years at this club, the time has come to say goodbye.
I arrived at AC Milan in 2019 with dreams, desire, and the excitement of wearing a jersey steeped in history. Today I leave after experiencing unforgettable moments, such as winning Serie A and the Italian Super Cup, and above all, after sharing a locker room with extraordinary people.
A heartfelt thank you to my teammates, to every coach who believed in me, and especially to Paolo Maldini, for his support, vision, and leadership. And thanks to the Rossoneri fans, who have always been there, in good times and bad. Feeling your support has been a privilege I will never forget and will always hold in my heart,” he added.
