Bayern Munich defender Hernandez is not paid €24m per season, agent claims

Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez does not earn €24 million (£21m/$26m) per season as has been reported, his agent has claimed.

According to recent reports in the German media, the 24-year-old's wages have caused a disruption in Bayern's dressing room, with several of the club's stars feeling they deserve to earn more than Hernandez.

Hernandez joined Bayern from Atletico Madrid last summer in a club-record €80 million (£68m/$90m) deal, but the France international has yet to live up to his hefty price tag.
