A new Frenchman in the capital. As we explained on Friday evening, Lucas Hernandez’s meticulous medical examination proved conclusive. In the process, the defender of the France team initialed his contract, according to L’Equipe. The amount of the transfer would amount to 40 million euros, or half of the sum paid by Bayern Munich (80 million euros) to recruit him in 2019. Hernandez would have signed up for at least three years.
The 27-year-old French international and world champion is expected to return to training on July 10, a date the club are still unwilling to confirm. With his arrival, Paris supports its list of recruits a little more, made up of Milan Skriniar, Marco Asensio, Manuel Ugarte. Hernandez is the first defender recruited by the capital club this summer. Left-handed, he mainly evolved as the left axial position of the Bavarian hinge. He is nevertheless able to pace the hallway, as he did during the 2018 World Cup.
However, he was unable to repeat his performance in Qatar. Theo Hernandez’s brother suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the first match of the 2022 World Cup against Australia, which ended his season on the spot.
Paris therefore assumes the risk of securing the services of a player regularly tormented by his body during his career. On the pitch, he rarely disappointed. Hernandez will bring his Champions League experience, which he won with Bayern in 2020, after winning the final against PSG.
