Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez admits he could've signed for Real Madrid.

The current world champion made the revelation during an interview with RMC.

"I didn't listen to it much. I was 100 percent committed to my club and also had just renewed my contract," he said.

"My agent told me and as soon as he said Madrid were interested I said I couldn't do it.

"Atletico are my city, my club, they have given me everything.

"I am an honest person and I couldn't go to Madrid."
