The France international has made 107 appearances for the German league champions since his arrival in 2019; however, he only played seven league games last season due to a ruptured cruciate ligament suffered at the World Cup.
Hernandez is PSG’s fifth new addition, joining Manuel Ugarte, Lee Kang-in, Milan Skriniar, and Marco Asensio.
The club also fired manager Christophe Galtier on Wednesday and replaced him with Luis Enrique, a former coach for Barcelona and Spain.
