Lucas Hernandez 'Would Consider' Atletico Madrid Exit Amid Bayern Munich Rumours

Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez has said he "would consider" a possible transfer away from the club amid continued speculation linking him with a move to Bayern Munich.

It was reported by David G. Medina and Isaac Suarez of Marca recently the German champions were ready to pay the €80 million (£72 million) release clause in Lucas' contract with the La Liga side and sign him in January.

Rumours have persisted since, and while the player told Le Figaro (h/t El Mundo, via Football Espana) that he is content with life in the Spanish capital, he also said he'd be open to a transfer if it was the right opportunity for him.
