Hernandez had previously been offered a deal by Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, but he chose to stay in Europe to continue his career. His decision suggests he prefers to play in European leagues during his prime years.
As a product of Atletico Madrid's youth system, Hernandez has a strong connection to the city. He played for city rivals Real Madrid from 2017 before moving to AC Milan. It appears he wants to return to the Spanish capital.
