Guille Fernández, 17 years old, is one of the ‘pearls’ that Barça has. His performance with FC Barcelona Atlètic in the last season, with 7 goals in 32 matches, has made Borussia Dortmund and Porto interested in signing him. However, the midfielder has decided to stay and seeks to earn a place.
The Rubí native has been taken into account by Hansi Flick for the preseason, where he played 12 minutes in Barça's thrashing of FC Seoul (3-7), wearing the ‘41’ when entering in place of the Swedish Roony Bardghji.
Fernández awaits his debut in the first team, he already received the call from the German coach for the premiere against RCD Mallorca in Son Moix, wearing the ‘30’ jersey. The midfielder had to settle for watching the match from the substitutes' bench and, in Levante, he once again entered the squad list.
Guille Fernández awaits from the reserve team and hopes for his opportunity
Although Barça Atlètic suffered relegation to the Second RFEF in the last season, Guille Fernández was able to count on 2,012 minutes played. According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, the Rubí native is committed to staying one more season in the reserve team and will try to take advantage of an opportunity throughout the course.
It should be noted that in the friendly match of Juliano Beletti's team against Atlètic Lleida (3-0), Fernández contributed to the Blaugrana's victory with a long-distance goal, while Aziz and Bardghji scored the other two goals.
Guille Fernández decided to stay, despite Casadó and Fermín
Flick has made it clear that Marc Casadó and Fermín López are untouchable players, who are Guille Fernández's main competition. However, the Rubí native has an important advantage, since his record is from the reserve team.
In the event that Barça needs to make an ‘unpopular sale’ to be able to register Gerard Martín, Szczesny and Roony, the youth player could have an opportunity to settle in the first team.
The young Blaugrana's contract expires in 2027, which means that Barça can agree to a loan or sale so that the player is no longer linked to the Culé activity. The answer to Dortmund and Porto was a resounding ‘no’, waiting to make his professional debut in the team of his dreams.
