Borussia Dortmund has set its sights on a key Barcelona midfield talent, as the Bundesliga club looks to bolster its squad.
FC Barcelona’s first team has been showcasing its prowess under the guidance of Hansi Flick, with a recent dominant performance against Daegu FC in their final preseason tour match.
The game provided a platform for many players to shine, highlighting the depth of talent within the squad.
However, one young midfielder, despite being part of the setup, remained on the sidelines, unable to make an impact.
This has sparked discussions about his future, with a prominent Bundesliga club now expressing keen interest in the teenager’s potential.
The 17-year-old in question is Guille Fernandez, a promising talent from Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.
While his cousin, Toni Fernandez, came off the bench and scored in the Daegu FC match, Guille watched from the sidelines.
Despite his lack of minutes, his potential has not gone unnoticed. Borussia Dortmund has set its sights on the young midfielder.
This is not the first time the German giants have been linked with Fernandez, signaling a genuine and sustained interest in the Barcelona gem.
With fierce competition for midfield spots at Barcelona, Fernandez faces a challenging path to first-team minutes under Flick.
Players like Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, and Gavi dominate the midfield, leaving little room for emerging talents.
Dortmund’s interest could offer Fernandez a chance to gain valuable playing time, either through a permanent transfer or a loan move.
The Bundesliga side is known for nurturing young talent, as seen with players like Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland, making it an attractive destination for the teenager.
As transfer speculation swirls around Barcelona’s midfield, with other players also linked to moves abroad, Fernandez must weigh his options.
Staying at Barcelona offers the prestige of La Masia and the chance to break through, but a move to Dortmund could provide the regular minutes needed to accelerate his development.
For now, the football world watches closely as this young star’s future unfolds.
