It seems that the rumors about Bayern Munich's desire to acquire Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez are not unfounded.
Marca recently spread rumors that the Bavarians are preparing to activate the Frenchman's buyout clause - 80 million euros. Atletico denied these reports on their official website, but Diego Simeone expressed some doubts during a press conference.
"I can say that I have spoken with him and the club. Lucas knows what I think of him, and the club also knows my position regarding this player," - D. Simeone said on Friday.
"Today he is with us, so I see no reason to talk about whether he will stay here or decide to leave somewhere else. We will see if he is ready to play in other matches. I don't want to talk about anything else.
I have always been optimistic. Lucas knows how we value him, and he also understands what kind of player he is. It is completely normal that a club like Bayern is willing to buy his contract," - the strategist added.
