To Saudi Arabia at 20: Barcelona midfielder Hernández set to join Al-Ittihad

Young Barcelona midfielder Unai Hernández, who had caught the eye of first-team coach Hansi Flick during training sessions, was expected to extend his contract with the Catalan club. However, the talented player has chosen a different path for his career.

Details: According to Diario Sport, the 20-year-old midfielder will not remain at Barcelona. Instead, he is pushing for a move to Saudi club Al-Ittihad. The Middle Eastern side is prepared to offer Barcelona a financial package in the range of €5-6 million for Hernández.

Currently, the midfielder’s entourage, despite his lack of first-team appearances for Barça, is focused on facilitating his transition to Al-Ittihad.

Reminder: Recently, Barcelona extended the contract of their key central defender Ronald Araújo.
