Why Juventus is not stepping up interest in Theo Hernandez | OneFootball

Juventus have been offered the chance to sign Theo Hernandez this summer as he searches for a way out of Saudi Arabia after just one season.

The defender is earning a significant amount there, but he misses European football and life on the continent, which has encouraged him to explore a return to Europe.

His agent has offered his services to Juventus as the Bianconeri continue to strengthen their squad with new additions.

Juventus consider Hernandez move

Hernandez is experienced in Italian football after spending several seasons at AC Milan before leaving Europe. Juventus would welcome the opportunity to make him their main left back because he is considered a top player in that position and also represents France in the same role.

However, the Bianconeri have reservations about completing a deal for the defender. According to Tuttojuve, their main concern is that the transfer would be too complicated for them to complete.

The issue is related to finances, as Juventus believe the cost of signing Hernandez from the Saudi Pro League would be too high, including both the transfer fee and his wages.

Wage structure affects decision

This financial concern is the main reason Juventus have not increased their efforts to sign Hernandez in recent weeks and may not do so during this transfer window.

While the club continue to improve their squad, Juventus have introduced a strict wage structure that they are unwilling to break for any player. That policy appears to be a major factor affecting their interest in Hernandez.

The defender remains a highly regarded player with experience at the highest level, but Juventus must consider whether the financial commitment involved would fit their long-term plans.

As the transfer window continues, the Bianconeri will have to decide whether Hernandez represents an opportunity worth pursuing or whether their current approach will prevent them from making a move.
