Kylian Mbappé and Presnel Kimpembe could be joined by a new French world champion this summer…
Things are accelerating for PSG on the transfer front. This Thursday, the Portuguese press announced that the Parisian club was close to completing the first file of its summer transfer window. The French champions have indeed decided to pay the release clause of young Manuel Ugarte, the 22-year-old midfielder from Sporting Lisbon. On the shelves of several English teams, the Lisbon player has already agreed with the Parisian leaders and should therefore join the Rouge et Bleu for a check for 60 million euros.
But to believe The team, another case would have made significant progress. PSG and Lucas Hernandez have indeed reached an agreement in principle for a transfer. The interest of the Ile-de-France club is not recent. In the summer of 2020, in the wake of their defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final and the signing of Tanguy Nkouassi with the German champions, Paris had already tried to recruit the native of Marseille. In vain.
The most expensive signing in Bayern history
But this time things look different. Lucas Hernandez is a year away from the end of his contract with Bayern Munich and now open to a departure. At the start of winter, the former Madrid player was close to extending his contract for five years. The discussions nevertheless dragged on and allowed Luis Campos and his teams to instill doubt in the mind of the Frenchman, close to Kylian Mbappé in the France team. Now Lucas Hernandez is leaning towards a departure and this agreement in principle is the best proof of this.
However, his departure from PSG is still far from certain. Bayern Munich has not given up on convincing the player who is still the most expensive player in the history of the club to extend his lease with the German champions, even if it means limiting the duration of this new contract to only three years. Above all, the German leaders will not make any gift to the capital club, with which they have more than fresh relations. The discussions will inevitably be complex to lead for Luis Campos.
