Juve Transfer Market: Theo Hernandez Is Available, but a Sacrifice Is Needed. Negotiations for Suzuki Are at an Advanced Stage

It’s not just about the attack for Juventus. While negotiations with PSG for Randal Kolo Muani are moving full steam ahead, the Bianconeri are considering how to strengthen other areas of the field. According to reports from Tutto Sport, Theo Hernandez has reportedly offered his services to Juventus. The former Milan fullback, who played for France in the last World Cup, has a contract with Al-Hilal through June 2028 but would like to return to Europe—and the Italian league, in particular, is a dream destination for the French defender.

Hernandez and his agents have maintained excellent relations with Frederic Massara, the former sporting director of the Rossoneri who is now the Bianconeri’s Chief Football Officer, and contact was immediately reestablished. However, the deal is being held up by Theo Hernandez’s massive salary—he currently earns 20 million euros net per year—while the highest-paid player at Juventus is Kenan Yildiz at 7 million per season.

The French player, who will also be offered to other European clubs, is willing to return to Italy even on loan: in Turin, he could take Andrea Cambiaso’s place if the Bianconeri fullback is sold.

As for the goalkeeper situation, Juventus has taken another step forward in its pursuit of Parma’s Zion Suzuki, who is highly regarded by many Italian and European clubs. PSG is also reportedly interested in the player, but talks between Juventus and Parma are at a more advanced stage; furthermore, Juventus could guarantee the player a starting role, unlike the French and European champions.
