And if the right pick was there, under the roof of the latest executioner, in the workforce of the one who prematurely put an end to the adventure in the Champions League last March at the Allianz Arena? In any case, this is what the management of PSG seems to believe, which has made Lucas Hernandez one of its priorities for next season.
It’s no secret that for a few seasons now, the capital club has been keeping more than one eye on the eldest of the Hernandez siblings. No reason for this to change so much his qualities and his profile are part, this year again, of the project that Luis Campos would like to put in place at PSG. Eager to “Frenchify” the PSG workforce a little more while injecting elements whose experience would also be a significant asset for the rest of the troops, the director of football sees Hernandez tick many boxes on his checklist. .
At 27, the native of Marseille can already boast of a CV that a minority of players are able to present at the end of their career. World champion with the Blues in 2018 and winner of the League of Nations three years later, the Munich defender already enjoys a rich international experience. Champions League finalist with Atlético Madrid in 2016, he won the Europa League with the Colchoneros two years later. The beginning of a European record that he will swell in the ranks of Bayern Munich with whom he will win the Champions League in 2020 against… PSG.
His favorite position is on the left axis, an armchair usually reserved for the child of the club, Presnel Kimpembe
Triple German champion, winner of the European Super Cup, the Club World Cup, Hernandez already has eight Champions League campaigns to his credit. Above all, he has a versatile profile that is more than attractive for Paris. Combative, explosive and a character player, he has the advantage of being able to play as a left-back. But his favorite position is on the left axis, near the wisp Nuno Mendes. A chair usually devolved to the child of the club, Presnel Kimpembe, but that the rupture of the Achilles tendon contracted at the end of February should, in the best case, keep away from competition until September. A situation which is not without asking some questions since one of the next Parisian recruits, Milan Skriniar, has also just experienced a second half of the season almost white with Inter Milan due to a herniated disc. Victim of a rupture of the cruciate ligaments of a knee with the Blues during the World Cup in Qatar, Lucas Hernandez was also on the flank in 2023. Reassuring news for Paris, the French international has just resumed collective training with Bayern.
If he will probably not return to competition this season, the question now is where the left-hander will start his summer preparation. One year from the end of the player contract, the leaders of Bayern have for months already started negotiations to extend their collaboration in Bavaria. But after being favorable to the idea of continuing the adventure, the most expensive transfer in the history of Bayern (80 M€) would play the clock today because not insensitive to the interest of the club of the capital city. This Thursday, The team even goes so far as to suggest that the French defender has even reached an agreement in principle with the PSG leaders and that it now remains to convince their German counterparts. Not the easiest task.
