Lucas Hernandez told he is "not welcome" by angry PSG ultras as he closes in on £34 million transfer

Lucas Hernandez has been told he is "not welcome" by Paris Saint-Germain's ultras ahead of a mooted £34 million transfer from Bayern Munich.

The defender is in the final year of his deal at Bayern and French outlet L'Equipe say the 27-year-old looks set to move to the Ligue One champions this summer.

However, there appears to be serious opposition from the club's most passionate and opinionated fans.

PSG's ultras, who have had fractured relationships with Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in recent years, are not in favour of the deal.

Romain Mabille, the leader of the group, took to Instagram to tell the former Atletico Madrid man that he is unwanted and that fans would "let him know".

The angry fans in the French capital have a number of issues with the signing of Hernandez, the first being that he was born in Marseille.

What's more, the player's father, Jean-Francois, played for Olympique Marseille - who are of course PSG's biggest rivals.

There's a serious animosity between the two clubs and there tends to be trouble whenever they face one another.

Although he represents France internationally, Hernandez grew up in Spain after moving at the age of four. He has never played a club game in France but his links to Marseille cannot be overlooked, it seems.

And in addition, the section of PSG supporters are still unhappy about how Hernandez celebrated when Bayern beat PSG to win the Champions League in 2020.

Although Hernandez insists there was no malice, they claim he rubbed in the triumph because of his Marseille connection.

Hernandez has been at Bayern since 2019, when he joined in a club-record £68 million transfer.

He's made 107 appearances but his last outing in a Bayern shirt was prior to the World Cup as a knee ligament injury suffered 13 minutes into France's tournament opener against Australia kept him on the sidelines.
