Hernandez signing 'unrealistic'
Bayern Munich's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic says Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez is unlikely to join the German champions this January as they look to replace their ageing squad with younger talent.
Bayern, who trail Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund by six points, kick-off the second half of the German league season at Hoffenheim on Friday and have targeted Hernandez to beef up their defence in the future.
"We have had talks, which will continue, but whether he comes this winter is unrealistic," Salihamidzic told Wednesday's edition of magazine Sport Bild, with the transfer window to close in Germany at 1700 GMT on January 31.
Hernandez, who won the World Cup with France last summer, has a market value of around 60 million euros ($68.3m).
