During the summer, Manchester United, Liverpool, Everton, and Newcastle United were among several Premier League clubs that showed an interest in Australian defender Lucas Herrington. During that time, Chelsea's owners, BlueCo, and Manchester City's parent company, City Football Group, also monitored the defender's situation. Interest in the 19-year-old has grown. This season, German clubs Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig have made checks on the Hull City player. It is also understood that Barcelona maintain a strong interest after being impressed by his performances in England. Herrington, who has 8 caps for Australia, joined Hull City in August 2026 on a contract that expires in June 2031. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €15.00m. The transfer from Colorado Rapids to Hull City was for a fee reported to be approximately €15M, potentially rising to €22M, after a reported €10M bid from Barcelona was rejected in June 2026.
