Barcelona intensifies interest in Deportivo’s Yeremay Hernández, aiming to secure the promising winger amid competition from Chelsea and Napoli.
FC Barcelona has intensified its pursuit of Yeremay Hernández, the promising winger from Deportivo de La Coruña, ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window, according to reports from Grada3 and posts on X. The 22-year-old Canary Islander has been a standout performer in the Segunda División this season, tallying 8 goals and 3 assists in 18 appearances, making him one of the hottest prospects in Spanish football.
Yeremay is under contract with Deportivo until 2029 and has a reported release clause of €33 million, as revealed by Más que Pelotas on X. However, Barcelona is expected to negotiate a deal closer to €20 million, leveraging its strategy of investing in young talent. The Catalan club views Yeremay as an ideal reinforcement for the left wing, highlighting his dribbling prowess and goal-scoring instinct.
Competition from Premier League and Serie A
Barcelona’s interest in Yeremay isn’t new, but the winger’s breakout season has also caught the attention of Premier League sides like Chelsea and Italian giants Napoli. Deportivo, aware of his growing value, is unlikely to facilitate his departure easily. However, a substantial offer could sway the club’s stance.
The upcoming summer transfer window will be pivotal in determining Yeremay’s future. If Barcelona secures his signing, the club would add another highly talented piece to Hansi Flick's project, reinforcing their commitment to nurturing domestic talent.
