Atlético Madrid have released a statement denying that Lucas Hernández has agreed to join Bayern Munich and also having any intention to depart the Spanish club.
“Following the story published by the Marca newspaper on an alleged deal between Bayern Munich and our player Lucas Hernandez, according to which the German club is to trigger the Frenchman’s buyout clause in the January window, Atlético de Madrid wishes to state that, in conversation with our club, Lucas Hernandez has denied any deal with Bayern Munich and also any intention to exit our club.
“Additionally, the excellent relationship between Atlético de Madrid and the German club has led Bayern Munich to deny said operation during a conversation between officials of both clubs.”
It was reported on Wednesday night that Bayern Munich were looking to trigger Hernández’ release clause believed to be €85 million, according to several reports.
