Lucas Hernandez has rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia to focus on reviving his career at Paris Saint-Germain — with one clear goal in mind: the 2026 World Cup.
The 29-year-old defender endured a nightmare 2024-25 season, featuring just once in Ligue 1. According to L’Équipe, he was targeted by Saudi clubs this summer but chose to remain in Paris.
Back from a serious knee injury suffered in May 2024, the 2018 World Cup winner is determined to reclaim a starting spot despite fierce competition at both PSG and with France.
For Hernandez, staying in Europe also keeps him firmly in Didier Deschamps’ plans. Recently called back into the national team, his decision could be crucial with the World Cup approaching. A move to Saudi Arabia might have closed that door for good.
