Lucas Hernandez Tries Convincing Mbappe To Join Bayern Munich
Paris Saint Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe says France teammate Lucas Hernandez has tried coaxing him into signing for Bayern Munich.
Mbappe’s contract with PSG expires in the summer of 2022 but the French club’s hierarchy have indicated that he will not be leaving the capital anytime soon.
The 22-year-old FIFA World Cup winner has been linked with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid but while on international duty with France ahead of EURO 2020, Mbappe says that Hernandez, who stars for Bayern Munich, has been trying to convince him to move to the Bavarian giants instead.
"Lucas Hernandez told me that I should come to Munich to play for Bayern,” Mbappe told SportBild.
"Bayern is one of the five best clubs in the world. One can only congratulate them on how they manage to keep the quality in the squad every year. They just know what they're doing.
"Now [Jerome] Boateng and [David] Alaba have left, but [Dayot] Upamecano, who is an excellent defender, came in. They have a clear concept that makes them a great club.
"And yes, you are always a favourite for any title. So I'll always have to win against Bayern in the future if I want to win a trophy."
Before bothering himself with any transfer issues, Mbappe will be hoping to help France add the European Championship title to the World Cup they won in Russia three years ago.
