Lucas Hernandez joins PSG but still question marks over Kylian Mbappe's future

10.07.2023 - 07:15 thenationalnews.com

Paris Saint-Germain made their fifth signing of the summer on Sunday, securing defender Lucas Hernandez from Bayern Munich on a five-year contract.

The French 2018 World Cup winner joins Manuel Ugarte, Milan Skriniar, Marco Asensio and Lee Kang-in as Parc des Princes newcomers since Luis Enrique's appointment as coach on Wednesday.

Hernandez, who has signed a deal with the French champions until 2028, said: "I'm feeling so happy, I've been waiting to join PSG for some time now and at last it's happened." While neither club has disclosed the size of the transfer fee, multiple reports estimated the deal to be worth around €40 million to Bayern.

Born in Marseille, 27-year-old Hernandez has never experienced Ligue 1 football having joined Atletico Madrid as a youngster in 2007 from fellow Spanish club Rayo Majadahonda.

Paris Saint-Germain officially confirmed having received a world record bid of 300-million-euro ($333 million) for their superstar forward Kylian Mbappe from Saudi club Al Hilal. Following the bid, PSG also allowed Mbappe to have a chat with the Saudi Pro League club despite rumours that the player has already agreed a deal with Spanish giants Real Madrid. As NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo asked Al-Hilal to sign him instead for such a grand fee, as he looks similar to Mbappe, the PSG forward also took to Twitter and shared his reaction.
