Lucas Hernandez Discusses Atletico Madrid Exit Rumours, Real Madrid Approach

Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez has said he'll sit down with the club to discuss his possible exit at the end of the season and revealed Real Madrid made a bid for his services two years ago.

Hernandez spoke to AS' F.J. Diaz ahead of Saturday's derby clash in La Liga, and when asked about being close to a move to Bayern Munich a few months ago, the 22-year-old said:

"To be totally honest, my personal situation changed and I had to make a decision that wasn't all about me. It's true that in the transfer window there was a bid from another major European side and the first thing I did was relay that to Atletico.
