Lucas Hernandez, the 29-year-old France defender under contract to Paris Saint-Germain until 2028, is now clearly an understudy in Paris. Which brings to mind the idea of a departure. According to L’Equipe, this was even a request from the player. The player clearly responded on social networks.
“A quick message to follow up on the various press articles and rumours claiming that I would have asked to leave PSG if my status didn’t change. I’d like to say that I absolutely did not ask to leave and that I’ll be playing for PSG next season, continuing to work hard on a daily basis to defend the colors of Paris-Saint-Germain as best I can whenever the coach gives me the opportunity!” He concludes: “This is Paris.“
One can only appreciate such a mentality. Hernandez is focused on his work at PSG and determined to make it a fully successful adventure. Here, he even takes the time to respond to a rumoured departure.
This response underlines the fact that such rumors are always to be taken with a pinch of salt, and that the media tend to exaggerate, with the occasional hypothesis transformed into information.
In any case, Hernandez was clear and we know that he wants to continue at PSG.
