Central defender Lucas Hernández apparently wants to leave Bayern Munich this summer. The Frenchman has allegedly already informed those responsible in Munich about this.
According to “Sky”, Lucas Hernández informed the bosses of FC Bayern on Tuesday that he would like to leave the club early in the coming transfer period.
The management floor around club president Herbert Hainer, the two supervisory board members Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, CFO Michael Diederich, technical director Marco Neppe and head coach Thomas Tuchel had a summit meeting on Tuesday, according to “Bild”. agreed to discuss the transfer strategies for the coming weeks. In the course of this, Hernández expressed his wish, according to “Sky”.
As “Bild” found out, Hernández was in the dressing room on Säbener Straße at the same time as coach Tuchel and squad planner Neppe on Tuesday morning. His future is said to have been a topic of discussion.
From Hernández’s point of view, the contract extension actually planned in Munich is finally off the table. Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, who was sacked around the last Bundesliga matchday, had offered the 27-year-old an extension until 2027, despite his month-long absence due to injury.
Transfer request from FC Bayern leaked
However, Hernández’s dream club Paris Saint-Germain is said to be offering a five-year contract with a significantly higher annual salary. Allegedly, PSG offers a salary of over 15 million euros per year.
According to “Sky”, FC Bayern would be quite willing to let the central defender go in the summer – mainly to prevent a free transfer next year. The prerequisite, however, is that the transfer requirements are met.
According to the TV broadcaster, the Munich-based company is demanding 60 million euros as a base amount, and bonus payments are also to be agreed. “Bild” meanwhile reports a transfer fee of at least 50 million euros. Hernández was informed on Tuesday that PSG now have to make an official offer.
