Theo Hernández is being linked with a return to Italian football after one disappointing season at Saudi club Al-Hilal, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The French left-back, 28, has attracted interest from both Como and Juventus as he weighs his options following a difficult campaign in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Hilal failed to win the Saudi Pro League title this season, with the trophy instead going to Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr. Como's prospect of Champions League football under Cesc Fabregas and Juventus's availability could prove persuasive arguments for Hernández's return to Serie A.
Hernández's potential move to Juventus is conditional on Andrea Cambiaso's departure, which is likely given Barcelona and Chelsea interest. The experienced Serie A operator would represent a proven replacement for the attacking full-back role Luciano Spalletti's system demands.
Hernández's transfer affects left-back market valuations in Serie A and impacts Juventus's defensive planning, influencing betting odds on Italian club squad balance and starting XI depth for next season.
