Paris Saint-Germain is preparing for a turbulent summer transfer window. Among the key cases is that of Lucas Hernandez, who is being pushed toward the exit by the club despite holding a long-term contract and earning a massive salary.
The Paris Saint-Germain aims to accelerate its plans in 2026, both in terms of arrivals and departures. The club needs to partially rebuild its squad, particularly by adjusting its bench. According to several sources, including PSG Inside Actus on X, the club is looking to part ways with Lucas Hernandez, who has become a high-cost luxury substitute. This decision has reportedly been approved internally by Luis Enrique, Luis Campos, and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
A Costly Contract Becoming a Problem
With a salary estimated at nearly one million euros per month, the French international is among the highest-paid players in the squad, despite limited playing time. Mostly used as a substitute this season, he represents an imbalance that PSG is keen to correct by reshaping the squad into a more coherent sporting hierarchy.
The question remains whether a departure is truly feasible. Under contract until 2028, Lucas Hernandez is unlikely to lack suitors, but his salary and injury history significantly complicate the situation. PSG will therefore need to find a viable solution to reduce its wage bill without undervaluing one of its most experienced players.
