Guille Fernández has been surrounded by numerous rumors about leaving Barcelona. At 17, he is one of the most promising talents from La Masia and Hansi Flick is closely following him. He has been on the tour of Asia and, frequently, trains with the first team. Given his situation, both Borussia Dortmund and Porto have explored his transfer and, after considering it, he has already made a firm decision.
He stays at Barça
"Mundo Deportivo" has revealed that the midfielder has chosen to keep wearing Barça's jersey. Despite the relegation to Segunda RFEF, he is committed to staying one more season with the reserve team, trying to take advantage of any opportunities he may have with the senior squad. Hansi Flick has spoken with him on several occasions and he is clear about his intentions.
Guille Fernández is clearly part of the club's future plans and now will be able to grow under Belletti's guidance. There is excitement about achieving promotion back to Primera RFEF, trying to rely on the youngest players to accomplish the goal.
Maximum projection
Barcelona keeps showing that its youth academy remains one of the most productive in Europe. Among the names starting to stand out is Guille Fernández, a midfielder who is only 17 and has already caught Flick's attention. The German coach believes Fernández has the qualities to establish himself in the first team in the medium term.
With a contract in force until 2027, the club is already working on a long-term renewal to ensure the continuity of a footballer many see as one of the greatest prospects from the culer academy. His playing style fits perfectly with Barça's philosophy. Great technical quality, exceptional vision, the ability to move the ball wisely, and tactical intelligence that is uncommon for his age.
In addition to his footballing qualities, the sporting management values his personality and maturity on the field, factors that have allowed him to stand out in the lower categories and now be closely monitored by Barcelona's coaching staff.
Barça doesn't want to repeat past mistakes and knows it must secure players like Guille Fernández against the interest of major European clubs. At Camp Nou, they trust he will soon be able to make the definitive leap and become a key midfielder for the future of the blaugrana project.
