Lucas Hernandez: I would consider leaving Atletico Madrid Atletico Madrid Open to options

Atletico Madrid's Lucas Hernandez has hinted that he could leave the Rojiblancos for another European club in the future, but refused to give away too much information.

Bayern Munich remain interested in the defender.

MARCA reported last week that the player could move to Bavaria for 80 million euros if they met his release clause.

"There are a lot of clubs in Europe that make me dream, but I won't tell you which ones," he said in an interview with Le Figaro.

"I'm fine here in Madrid, but if I had to leave tomorrow because a project interested me, I would consider it."

The year that was 2018 was a special one for Lucas, who won the World Cup with France, but he says he is still happy living in Spain.

"I'm very happy in Madrid and Spain," he added.

"Everyone has trusted me for a long time here.

"But in football, there are many requests and I have to weigh up the pros and cons.

"I have to make the best decision for me, my family and the future of my career."

Antoine Griezmann is a teammate of Lucas for both club and country, and the defender spoke about their relationship.

"He talks to me constantly and he helped when I had to make one of the most important decisions of my life - to play for Spain or France.

"He made me think and changed everything.

"I had given it my all, I had French blood.

"If Antoine had not been there, I would've lost myself."

Father and a player

Life as a father is challenging, particularly when trying to maintain a professional football career on little sleep.

"Waking up every three hours for a bottle or nappy change isn't easy, but it's a beautiful thing.

"We're organised and when it's a week without a match I get up at night.

"If a game is coming, it's the mother's turn and I'm starting to like that second scenario.

"At first I was totally lost and it was the mother who helped me.

"Now I want to expand the family but we can wait a few more years."
