Lucas Hernandez at PSG? Maybe. According to various sources, the 2018 world champion is in the sights of Luis Campos. One year from the end of his contract, he would be keen to leave Bayern for the French capital. The Team announces it close to Paris. A potential recruitment that does not only make happy Parisian supporters… Lucas Hernandez nevertheless represents a safe bet, perhaps one of the best players in the world in his register. Moreover, he is a potential starter in the France team and he is only 27 years old. Add to that that his transfer could be negotiated between 35 and 50 M€, and you have a good shot for the French champions. Except that the Parisian supporters are not all delighted with the idea of welcoming the former Atlético Madrid player to the Parc des Princes.
It is not even because of the large number of injuries of the person concerned. Since his record €80 million transfer to Bayern in 2019, the 2018 world champion has missed 66 matches, according to the Transfermarkt site. He has also completed a new internship in the infirmary in recent months, he who seriously injured his knee during the World Cup in Qatar, with the Blues.
But what remains in the throat of Paris-SG fans is Lucas Hernandez’s appetite for… OM. “You are not welcome from Marseille… And we will let you know”, insists the president of the CUP, Romain Mabille. Admittedly, he never played under the colors of the Marseille club, but he was born in Marseille, where his father, Jean-François Hernandez, evolved. Enough to create a special bond with Olympique de Marseille… The Bavarian said for example this after the victory of the Colchoneros over OM, in Lyon, in the final of the Europa League 2018: “It was special… As you know , I was born there. I couldn’t live there for long, but I’ve always been a Marseillais, I’ll always be a Marseillais. I’m sorry for them, but very happy for me because lifting a trophy in Lyon is very big. If he had defended himself from any chambering afterwards, in Téléfoot, Lucas Hernandez had also electrified the Parisian supporters by singing “Paname c’est la Champions League” after Bayern’s victory over… Paris in the C1 final, in 2020, in Lisbon.
This is not the first time that the brother of the Milanese Théo has been announced in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain. When he was still wearing the Atlético Madrid tunic, he was asked about the subject during a press conference with the France team: “I live life in the present, I don’t look too much at the future, and for at the moment I’m in Madrid, I’m fine. Personally, I am not looking to change clubs at the moment. I’m fine, I have everything there, my life, my friends, everything there. After, in the future, if the club was interested and there is an agreement, why not? Afterwards, I come from Marseille, I’m from Marseille, it’s going to be a bit complicated to go to Paris (laughs), but anything can happen in this life. Frankly, personally, I don’t think that would happen…today.” And tomorrow ?
