Barcelona assess Yeremay Hernandez as long-term attacking option – Report | OneFootball

Few young players in Spain have seen their reputation grow as quietly yet as convincingly as Yeremay Hernandez. At just 23, the winger has become one of the most intriguing profiles outside La Liga, combining personality, technical daring, and a fearless approach in one-on-one situations.

His performances for Deportivo La Coruña have not gone unnoticed, and neither has the sense that his time at the Riazor may be nearing its natural conclusion.

Yeremay’s development has been steady rather than explosive, built on consistency and responsibility rather than sudden hype. In a season where Deportivo’s collective future remains uncertain, his individual growth has stood out.

Whether or not the Galician side achieves promotion, there is a growing sense that the Canary Islander’s trajectory points beyond his current surroundings.

That reality has inevitably drawn attention from clubs across Europe. His release clause, reportedly set at €50 million, reflects both Deportivo’s desire to protect a valuable asset and an understanding that elite interest was inevitable. In modern football, however, clauses often bend when ambition and timing align. That is where FC Barcelona quietly enter the picture.

According to Fichajes, Yeremay’s representatives have already sounded out interest at Camp Nou. Within the club, reports on the winger are overwhelmingly positive.

His profile fits a long-standing Barca preference of deploying wide players who can destabilize defences, play with freedom, and interpret space rather than simply occupy it. His age and development curve also align with a squad that is gradually being reshaped around youth and sustainability.

What makes the case particularly interesting is how he fits into the club’s medium-term thinking. With uncertainty surrounding the long-term futures of several attacking players, Barcelona are evaluating options that can grow into larger roles rather than arrive as finished products. In that sense, Yeremay shows excellent potential, a quality increasingly valued under the current sporting direction.

There is also a broader strategic layer, as Barcelona can do with players who show good adaptability. Those who can accept competition, evolve tactically, and grow within a demanding ecosystem, and Yeremay’s willingness to take responsibility at Deportivo suggests a mindset compatible with that challenge.

Whether or not a move materialises will depend on finances, timing, and the market’s movement. But one thing is clear: Barcelona are watching closely. And in a summer that promises change, Yeremay Hernandez could prove to be an inspired addition.

If the club chooses ambition over comfort, this could be one of those moves that feels obvious only in hindsight.
