Barcelona have reportedly set their sights on Lucas Hernandez, although the 25-year-old French defender could be out of reach for them.
According to a report by Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are interested in signing Lucas Hernandez in the summer transfer window. However, the 25-year-old French defender is unlikely to be poached away from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, owing to his valuation.

Lucas Hernandez joined Bayern Munich from Atletico Madrid in an €80 million deal in the summer of 2019 and has since made gradual progress in his career. A key member of the French national side that won the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the 25-year-old has had to share game time at the Allianz Arena so far.
To date, Hernandez has made 62 appearances for the reigning Bundesliga champions, chipping in with a goal and five assists. And in the season gone by, he seemed to have grown in stature at Bayern Munich, which is perhaps why a club like Barcelona might have set their sights on him.
