In accordance with a report from Sport1 journalist Kerry HoweThere was a transparent timeline and purpose behind the failure of Lucas Hernandez’s contract renewal – which was considered a mere formality – at Bayern Munich.

We lined the preliminary story right here, however many followers have been left questioning how issues fell aside so shortly. Bear Hao, it might have been a state of affairs the place issues have accrued over the previous few months:

If Bayern made a concrete provide instantly after the harm / World Cup, the extension would have ended way back.

On the membership’s facet, there was nonetheless nice confidence that the deal can be accomplished earlier than the tip of the season. It was mentioned a month in the past that solely the main points ought to be clarified. Transformed now resulting from PSG’s engaging provide. open exit. Tuchel hopes Hernandez will keep.

Moreover, Hau (as captured by @tweet) stories that Bayern Munich will solely match Hernandez’s present wage and never give him a increase – one thing PSG want to do:

Regardless of his harm report, Bayern can be prepared to increase Hernandez’s contract on the similar wage. PSG is ready to provide him a wage enhance. If he presses for a transfer, Bayern should promote him to get a payment. There isn’t a remaining choice. All choices are on the desk.

Realistically, Bayern Munich made the smart choice to attend till they dive into negotiations. Hernandez has a protracted historical past of accidents (the Frenchman missed 81 matches and 754 days of exercise throughout his profession resulting from harm, together with 65 matches and 481 days of exercise with Bayern Munich alone every time. Market transfer) and suffered a extreme knee harm.

There may very well be many causes to complain about selections made by Bayern Munich over the course of the season, however taking a conservative method to contract negotiations for a participant who has simply suffered a extreme knee harm shouldn’t be amongst them.

Regardless, PSG look set to lose a major quantity of wage from their price range this summer time, and Hernandez – the France worldwide – has all the time been a part of their squad plans in some unspecified time in the future…just a few factors ‘now’.
