Atletico Madrid left-back, Lucas Hernández, who was part of the France team that won the 2018 FIFA Worl Cup in Russia, will play at Bayern Munich starting next January.
The Germans will gain a pulse in which they have been involved two of the most important and powerful teams in Europe, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
From the neighbour of the capital of Spain, it has already been said that on two occasions he knocked on the Frenchman’s door with the intention of repeating the play he already made with his brother Theo in the summer of 2017. In fact, that was when he proposed to sign the player (who then had a clause of 55 million), but Simeone convinced him that he was still dressed as a rojiblanco. His identification with the club that formed him, as he has publicly acknowledged several times, prevented him from leaving to the eternal rival.
But the whites did not give up their efforts and they tried again this last summer. The answer was the same as Lucas struggled to accept or not the Manchester United offer. Because the English were willing to pay the clause of 80 kilos that Lucas had signed with its renewal in the World Cup . The central one thought about it and ended up saying that it was not the last days of the Premier market, but they remained in talks for the month of January if Atlético did not react with a new renovation.
But Bayern has gotten into the fight and has overtaken the other suitors. He has done it with a sports project in which they promise to be the leader of the defense and with the emoluments that have convinced him to leave the club in which he was formed and that has made him one of the best centers in Europe.
A center that will end the current season playing in the historic Bayern and being a possible rival of the Athletic one if both pass their respective eliminatory ones of eighths of Champions. But that’s another story that can come after the Germans pay the 80 million clause.
