Yeremay Hernández remains one of Sporting’s top priorities to strengthen the attack next season, but the Spanish winger remains fully focused on Deportivo La Coruña and is avoiding fuelling speculation about his future.
In an interview with Cadena Ser, the 23-year-old player assured that, for now, he is only thinking about finishing the season in the best possible way and enjoying his time off. “I have a contract until 2030, but for now I just want to enjoy myself a bit. I’m not thinking about anything other than playing against Las Palmas in the final matchday and enjoying time with my family,” he said.
Asked about the possibility of making a decision regarding the next step in his career, Yeremay admitted that it will not be a simple process. “It’s very complicated, both in football and in life. But as I always say, I decided to stay because Deportivo is my home. And the day I leave, it will be with it in the top flight.”
The winger’s words come at a time when his situation has become even more complicated for interested clubs. According to the Spanish press, the player’s release clause doubled after Deportivo’s promotion to the top division, rising from €50 million to a much higher figure.
Antonio Hidalgo, coach of the Galician side, also did not hide his desire to continue counting on one of the team’s main figures. “I expect Yeremay to be here on 6 July [the start date of pre-season]. He has tremendous potential and I believe that, despite it having been a difficult year, he has improved enormously. Yesterday he trained well again,” said the coach.
