Lucas Hernandez to join Bayern Munich in January Laliga Santander - Atletico Madrid Germans will pay 80 million euros

Bayern Munich are set to complete the signing of Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez in January for a fee of 80 million euros.

That is the amount of the Frenchman's release clause and will be paid on 1 January by the Bavarians as part of the new project they are building.

As a result, it now seems that the game the centre-back played against Alaves in which he went off injured could be his last for the club.

Although Lucas renewed his deal in the Spanish capital last summer until 2024, he is now on the brink of departure.

Bayern are set to offer the versatile defender a four-year contract at the Allianz Arena.
