Munich – It’s such a thing with identification in professional sports. Players who talk about their childhood bedding in the colors of the new club when they sign the contract.
Players who tap the club crest on their shirt when they score – like Lucas Hernández (27) did when he scored his only goal last season.
Departure at Bayern: Official confirmation from Lucas Hernández is still pending
Now he is leaving FC Bayern (like João Cancelo and Daley Blind, whose departures the club has now confirmed) towards Paris St.-Germain. Hernández’ transfer should be fixed after the medical check on Friday – but the official confirmation was still missing.
As “L’Équipe” reports, the total transfer fee is 50 million euros. FCB received the same amount for Robert Lewandowski. Record! On the other hand: Hernández, then Atlético Madrid, cost 80 million in 2019, also a record. The price is likely related to his long injury history. He played 74 Bundesliga games, missing 47 in the hospital.
From FC Bayern to PSG: Lucas Hernández’ difficult change
So now Paris, for three years. The France international was born in Marseille while his father was playing for Olympique. Paris, Marseille – proud, not green cities and clubs.
Criticism of the access has already come from the PSG Ultra camp, keyword: identification. But Hernández grew up in Spain, and his youth club Atlético receives five percent of the current fee as training compensation.
Min-jae Kim comes to FC Bayern from SSC Napoli for 58 million
Hernández makes a flying change with Min-jae Kim, as well as a (central) defender. Because the transfer from SSC Naples to FC Bayern should be a done deal. A contract for five seasons, a tripling of the annual salary to seven million euros – these are the key data of the deal. According to “Gazzetta dello Sport”, the transfer fee of 58 million will flow to the foot of Vesuvius on Saturday.
Bayern will receive a 1.90 meter tall, 26-year-old defender. The second fastest of his guild in Serie A, and aggressive in a duel. Nickname: “Monsters”. Kim has now completed his military service in South Korea. On July 3rd he returns to Europe. Will he sing and dance to “Gangam Style”, the chart hit from his home country, like at SSC Naples for the team debut? The karaoke friend can now start thinking about it. Better that than about sayings about Bayern bed linen.
