Joan Laporta took advantage of his recent visit to Lisbon to have dinner with Mendes and several others from Gestifute, a firm that manages the future of several Barça prospects. Upon leaving, the representative spoke about Lamine Yamal, whose renewal until 2030 is pending until he turns 18, and about Ansu Fati, who is halfway out of the culer club. But now Mundo Deportivo has discovered that another name came up in this "meeting": that of Guille Fernández.
Guille Fernández, a 16-year-old footballer, is also represented by Mendes and has already become a regular starter for Barça's reserve team. He has played 21 matches, scoring five goals and providing one assist. The club conveyed their happiness for his great potential, telling the agent that they are "very happy" with his attitude and performance.
In this regard, Laporta let him know that Hansi Flick is very alert to Guille Fernández's development, to the point of having already promoted him to train with the senior team. He hasn't debuted with the first team yet, but he has been included in drafts and is held in high regard. The plan for him is clear: he will be taken to do the preseason next summer, heading to Asia with his teammates.
Guille Fernández: Mendes wants to renew his contract
At the moment, the midfielder's contract expires in 2027, and the idea is to follow a plan similar to that of the winger. Guille Fernández has reported to Mendes over the past few months his happiness at Barça, and the idea is for him to renew as soon as he can. In June 2026, he will turn 18 and will be able to sign a new long-term contract, which is the existing plan.
Guille Fernández is very committed to Barça and is eager to do things well. The confidence is total, and a plan is being designed for him to debut with the first team sooner rather than later. He is a star, and Mendes knows firsthand that the idea is for both parties to continue together for the coming years.
The truth is that the dinner between Laporta, Deco, Mendes, and several Gestifute employees was very positive. Everyone is on the same boat and sailing in the same direction. There is a very good relationship between the parties, and this is good news for Barça.
