Borussia Dortmund make enquiry for 17-year-old Barcelona wonderkid – report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have a plethora of young talents with great promise coming through the ranks at La Masia, one of whom happens to be Guille Fernandez.

Just 17 years of age, the young midfielder has already participated in two pre-seasons with the Barça first-team squad, having travelled to the USA last year before flying to Asia this summer.

An official senior debut is yet to materialise for Guille, who was in the squad for Saturday’s La Liga game against Mallorca but remained an unused substitute.

Borussia Dortmund want Guille Fernandez

Now, though, journalist Gianluigi Longari reports that Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund have taken an interest in Guille Fernandez and have lodged an enquiry with Barcelona for his availability.

Guille, 17, has a contract with the Catalan giants until the summer of 2027. However, at the moment, there is no pathway into the senior team for the youngster, given the competition for places in the midfield department.

And with Barça Atletic playing in the RFEF Segunda Division – the fourth-tier of Spanish football – Guille is seen as a player well above that level.

It has given way to speculations about his future, with either a loan exit or even a permanent departure with a buyback option being considered.

The 17-year-old midfielder has no shortage of admirers, and Borussia Dortmund have taken the first step by making an enquiry for the player.

The ball is firmly in Guille’s court, who will have to decide whether he wants to stay and continue his development at Barça Atletic while training with the first team or seek a new challenge elsewhere.
