Dortmund eye Barça gem: will Guille Fernandez deal happen? | OneFootball

With Kennet Eichhorn (Hertha BSC) and Adin Licina (FC Bayern München II), two talents active in Germany have been linked with Borussia Dortmund in recent days. BVB is not only looking for promising players with great development potential within Germany but is also excellently networked internationally in this regard. For some time now, Borussia has been rumored to have an interest in Guille Fernandez from FC Barcelona, which could soon become concrete.

According to information from "Bild," Dortmund officials, including CEO Lars Ricken and sporting director Sebastian Kehl, highly value the 17-year-old midfielder and have been closely monitoring his development through the club's scouts. They are also aware that Guille Fernandez has only been included in coach Hans-Dieter Flick's professional squad once this season and was not used.

Instead, the Spanish U19 national player officially belongs only to the squad of Barça Atlètic, the Catalans' second team, which plays only at the fourth-tier level and for which Guille Fernandez has only made two appearances this season due to an ankle injury.

The Fernandez family is aware of Dortmund's interest

As "Bild" further reports, the family of the young talent is now pushing for playing time at the professional level and is therefore open to a transfer. The interest from Dortmund is known in this context, and BVB is considered a very good destination for the training and development of top talents.

BVB is likely waiting for the right moment to make a concrete move, but since Fernandez is only contracted to Barca until 2027, and thus a decision between extension and transfer is likely to be made by next summer at the latest, the topic seems to be heating up. It is not out of the question that BVB might knock on Barcelona's door as early as winter.
