According to the latest reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Theo knows his future is not in Saudi Arabia and he can use the FIFA World Cup to showcase himself and return to Europe.
It is reported that last summer, Theo joined Al Hilal on an annual salary of 20 million euros. He chose to join under Simone Inzaghi not only because the offer was truly tempting, but also because no top club had extended an offer to him beforehand.
Atlético Madrid had tried to sign him, but negotiations with Milan ultimately fell through, so Milan sold him to Saudi Arabia for 25 million euros. So what now? Perhaps there is a team that needs a full-back with his characteristics.
If Cambiaso leaves, Juventus will have the opportunity to sign a full-back. Como pursued Theo in January 2025, but he rejected their offer at the time. Now that Como has qualified for the Champions League, will his answer still be the same?
However, these discussions are premature and do not take into account potential offers from other European teams. A strong performance at the FIFA World Cup might accelerate currently unimaginable transfer negotiations and present Theo with a choice: accept a substantial sum of money, or return to a team competing in the Champions League?
The 28-year-old is well aware that his future is not in Riyadh but in Europe. He now needs to find a way back, preferably to a top club, and the FIFA World Cup might give him a chance to prove himself and once again increase his value in the transfer market.
