Atletico Madrid President Talks About Lucas Hernandez to Bayern Munchen Transfer Rumor

DBasia.news – 16 Bundesliga matches have been conducted and the defending champion, Bayern Munchen, had three defeats and finish at the third position with 33 points. Bayern Munchen’s performance this season hasn’t met the expectation.

Besides the player rotation policy by Kovac that attracts the attention, Die Roten’s performance, especially the defenders is also the highlight. No wonder, Manuel Neuer got conceded 16 times.

This what makes the club arrange the plan to sign some new defenders in the winter transfer market on January 1st, 2019.

One of the main targets is Lucas Hernandez who is currently playing for Atletico Madrid. Moreover, Bayern are ready to spend a fantastic fee worth 80 million euro for the 22-year-old player.

Tired of all the rumor, the club president Enrique Cerezo emphasized that it’s a hoax. The Spanish man confirmed that Lucas Hernandez wants to stay at Wanda Metropolitano.

“Right now Lucas Hernandez is an Atletico Madrid player. He wants to stay with us. Let them pay his €80m release. We are putting together a great team, not selling it off,” he added.

Lucas Hernandez indeed showed a consistent performance with Los Rojiblancos. This season, he always becomes the main choice of Diego Simeone and already played in 10 LaLiga matches. Unfortunately, he is now getting a knee injury.
