Lucas Hernandez will not leave Atletico Madrid next month but the France international could join Bayern Munich at the end of the season, according to the Spanish club's executive director Miguel Angel Gil Marin.
Lucas' future has been subject to intense speculation in recent weeks after Marca suggested Bayern were ready to trigger his €80million release clause.
Bayern denied any deal for Lucas was in place but have spoken of their admiration for him, although Gil Marin has no intention of letting him go when the transfer window opens.
"The player cannot leave Atletico Madrid in this winter transfer window," he told Goal and Spox.
"We have a good relationship with Bayern and will meet with them in January to evaluate the situation.
"If the player wants to leave we will talk about it – but only about a transfer in July."
