Lucas Hernandez, the talented defender currently playing for Bayern Munich, has expressed his desire to part ways with the German club in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Situation at Bayern
Hernandez has made his intentions clear to the front office at Bayern Munich, indicating his strong desire to don the colors of PSG in the near future.
The situation at Bayern Munich has become crucial due to the impending expiration of Hernandez’s contract next June. The club was keen on obtaining a definitive decision from the player regarding a contract extension.
They needed to ascertain whether he intended to remain in Munich or firmly wished to pursue a transfer during the summer window. The answer has now been provided, offering Bayern Munich clarity on their future plans.
PSG keen for Hernandez move
Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, have identified Hernandez as an ideal candidate to bolster their defensive options.
With the departure of the experienced Sergio Ramos, PSG is determined to reinforce their backline and maintain their defensive solidity.
Hernandez’s impressive performances for Bayern Munich have caught the attention of PSG’s management, who see him as the perfect fit for their team’s style of play.
However, according to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, PSG still has some business matters to address before submitting an official bid for Hernandez.

PSG to offload Kurzawa & Bernat before signing Hernandez
Romano suggests that PSG is actively seeking solutions for both Layvin Kurzawa and Juan Bernat before making a formal offer for Hernandez.
Juan Bernat’s contract with PSG is set to expire in June 2025, while Kurzawa has returned to the club following an injury-ridden loan spell with Fulham in the Premier League.
Both players have fallen out of favor at PSG, prompting the club’s desire to offload them prior to initiating negotiations for Hernandez.
While Hernandez’s desire to join PSG is clear, the French giants must first resolve the situations of Kurzawa and Bernat.
