He landed in 2023 at the same time as Luis Henrique, with his CV XXL and his status as world champion. Experienced and renowned for his fighting spirit, Lucas Hernandez has always displayed great ambitions with the
Paris Saint-Germain.
But the French international was held back in his Parisian adventure by many physical seeds, including a serious knee injury (rupture of the cross ligament of the left knee, after the GE or right in 2022).

Consequence: the versatile defender, who had accumulated an important playing time during his first year in Paris, had to be satisfied with a joker role since his return. More generally, Lucas Hernandez is still penalized by an unequal level of performance. A logical trajectory for a player long on the side.
Lucas Hernandez was courted
In this context, the hypothesis of a departure had been mentioned this summer. The team indicated that Lucas Hernandez wanted to find a status as a holder. The daily specifies that the French international was notably courted in Saudi Arabia. But he did not follow up on these proposals.
The main interested party himself denied these rumors of departure. “” A small message to follow up on the various press articles and rumors which claim that I will have asked from PSG if my status did not evolve. I want to say that I absolutely did not ask to leave, and that I will evolve at PSG next season, continuing to work hard on a daily basis to defend the colors of Paris-Saint-Germain as best as possible each time the coach will give me the opportunity! Thank you for your support … “Here it's Paris” ».
