Rising Star at FC Barcelona
Unai Hernandez, a 19-year-old talent from La Masia, is quickly becoming one of FC Barcelona’s most promising young prospects. Capable of playing both in midfield and on the left flank, Hernandez shone for Barça Atletic last season, contributing ten goals and seven assists in 38 games. His performances were instrumental in nearly securing promotion to La Liga 2.
Attracting Attention Beyond Barcelona
Hernandez’s potential hasn’t gone unnoticed, as a report from Mundo Deportivo reveals that numerous clubs—both from Spain’s second division and abroad—are keen on signing him this summer. Despite this widespread interest, Hernandez remains focused on one goal: succeeding at FC Barcelona.
Commitment to Barça Despite Opportunities
Throughout last season, Hernandez was called up to the first-team squad on eight occasions by manager Xavi Hernandez, although he didn’t make his official debut. This summer, he started Barça’s pre-season under first-team manager Hansi Flick and traveled to the United States for the tour. Unfortunately, his playtime was limited due to a fever, though he did feature for 45 minutes in the pre-season El Clasico against Real Madrid.
Leading Barça Atletic with a Clear Goal
Now captaining Barça Atletic, Hernandez has already made an impact in pre-season with two goals and an assist. Despite the interest from other clubs, his focus remains on continuing to impress at Barça Atletic, earning a spot in the first team, and eventually becoming a key player for FC Barcelona. Contract renewal talks are also underway, further emphasizing his commitment to the club’s future.
