Club career[]

Atlético Madrid[]

Born in Marseille, Hernandez joined Atlético Madrid's academy in 2007, aged nine.[4] After progressing through the youth categories, he was promoted to the reserves in Tercera División in summer 2015.

On 3 February 2016, Hernandez renewed his contract.[5] Two days later, he was called up to the first team for a La Liga match against Eibar due to injuries,[6] but remained an unused substitute in the 3–1 home win.[7]

Alavés[]

On 4 August 2016, Hernandez extended his contract until 2021, being immediately loaned to fellow league club Deportivo Alavés for one year.[8][9] He made his professional debut late in the month, starting in a 0–0 home draw with Sporting de Gijón.[10]

On 16 October 2016, Hernandez was given a straight red card in a 1–1 home draw to Málaga after a hard tackle on Ignacio Camacho.[11] He scored his first professional goal the following 7 May, netting the game's only in a home victory over Athletic Bilbao.[12]

A regular starter during the Basque team's run in the Copa del Rey, Hernandez helped them reach the final for the first time in their 91-year history. During the decisive match on 27 May 2017, he scored the equaliser through a direct free kick in an eventual 1–3 loss against Barcelona.[13]

Real Madrid[]

On 5 July 2017, Hernandez signed a six-year deal with Real Madrid after they met his release clause of €24 million.[14][15][16] He made his competitive debut on 16 August, replacing Marco Asensio in a 2–0 home win against Barcelona for that year's Supercopa de España.[17]

Hernandez made three appearances during the 2017–18 edition of the UEFA Champions League,[18] helping the club win its third consecutive and 13th overall title in the competition.[19] On 10 August 2018, he was loaned to Real Sociedad.[20][21]

AC Milan[]

On 7 July 2019, Hernandez joined Serie A club AC Milan in a deal worth maximum of €20 million.[22][23] The transfer was approved and carried out by Paolo Maldini, who met with him informally in Ibiza to persuade him to join.[24]

Hernandez made his official debut on 21 September 2019, playing 18 minutes in the 2–0 defeat against Inter Milan in the Derby della Madonnina.[25] He scored his first goal for the Rossoneri on 5 October, helping the visitors come from behind to win 2–1 at Genoa.[26]

International career[]

On 26 August 2021, he received his first call to France senior squad.[27] He made his debut on 7 September 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Finland, a 2–0 home victory. He started and played the whole game.[28]

Personal life[]

Hernandez's father, Jean-François, was also a footballer. A centre-back of Spanish descent, he too played for Atlético Madrid;[29][30] his older brother, Lucas, who plays for Bayern Munich and France, was also developed at the club.[31]
