Lucas Hernandez, the 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain defender, is already preparing for life after football. As reported by L’Équipe, the French international is part of an investor group that has acquired a 90% stake in Estrela da Amadora, a club in the Portuguese top flight.
Investing alongside former Bayern teammates
“Estrela da Amadora, a Portuguese first-division club located northwest of Lisbon, has been 90% acquired by a group that includes four former Bayern Munich players: Lucas Hernandez, Thomas Müller, Yann Sommer, and Mats Hummels. The four men invested alongside an international consortium led by two investment firms, ADvantage and LEAD, with support from the KI Group.”
The deal goes well beyond a simple individual investment by Lucas Hernandez. The PSG player is joining a project driven by several players who shared the same sporting culture at Bayern Munich, as well as by specialized investment firms. For the PSG defender, this stake allows him to start building a post-playing career in football without waiting until his time as a player comes to an end.
A Portuguese club aiming to establish itself in the top flight
“The Portuguese club has been playing in the first division since 2023 and has managed to avoid relegation four times, finishing in the bottom half of the table on each occasion. Four French players are in the squad: Lucas Mincarelli, Tom Moustier, Emerson Vanga, and Bénito Souza. Eddy—cousin of Désiré and Guéla Doué—also plays for Estrela.”
For now, Estrela da Amadora remains a club accustomed to battling in the lower half of the Portuguese standings. The arrival of new investors could allow it to gradually step up to the next level, even though no specific sporting ambitions have been announced yet. For PSG, the interest of the story lies primarily with Lucas Hernandez: the Parisian defender is beginning to diversify his activities while continuing his career at the highest level.
