The agent of reported Newcastle United target Lucas Hernandez says the defender will remain at Bayern Munich beyond this summer, Sky Sports Germany report.
Newcastle have been linked with a mega-money bid for the Bayern ace.
According to Bild, the Magpies are being tipped to make a huge, club-record signing once their takeover involving the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund goes through.
Hernandez has been cited as a potential signing, only one year after Bayern paid Atletico Madrid £72 million to prize him away from the Spanish capital.
But Hernandez’s agent Manuel Garcia Quilon has since dismissed the reports.
“Lucas will not change and will definitely stay with Bayern,” Quilon explained.
Newcastle’s £300 million takeover has been dragging on. That said, those involved are seemingly confident it will go through soon enough.
The Magpies will suddenly have the backing to become a major player.
But the Premier League club may need to reign in their immediate ambitions. Hernandez, for instance, is already at one of the world’s biggest clubs.
The French World Cup winner has made 15 appearances since moving to Bavaria.
Capable of playing at left-back or at centre-back, Hernandez has plenty yet to offer Bayern and at 24 still has the best years of his career ahead of him.
