Toni Fernández, an 18-year-old Barcelona academy player, has an agreement to become a new player for Venezia in this final stretch of the market. The deal has been verbally closed for 4 million euros, with 50% of a future sale going to the Blaugrana club and a buy-back option.

Toni Fernández leaves Barcelona for Serie A

The agreement between Venezia and Barcelona has been reached verbally, and the next step is to complete the transfer documentation. Toni Fernández will play in Serie A after the Italian club prevailed over other offers the player had received.

The young player, born in 2008, had been linked to the first team for several seasons, although his continuity in the professional squad was not guaranteed. This situation led to a definitive departure in the final days of the transfer window.

Toni Fernández had already made his debut with Barcelona's first team in 2025 after completing his training at La Masia. In the 2024-25 season, he scored 8 goals in 23 matches with the reserve team, while in 2025-26, he netted 5 goals in 24 games.

Choosing Venezia represents a leap for the player into one of the five major European leagues. The newly promoted Italian club offers a different scenario from the Blaugrana reserves, ensuring a permanent signing rather than a loan deal.

Barcelona safeguards its investment in Toni Fernández

Barcelona does not completely relinquish control of Toni Fernández despite the transfer. The agreement stipulates that the Catalan club retains 50% of the economic rights for a future sale, as reported regarding the operation.

Moreover, Deco has pushed for the inclusion of a buy-back clause, a condition that would allow Barcelona to reacquire the academy player if his development in Italy prompts the club to consider his return.

This arrangement provides a path for Toni Fernández's potential return while enabling Venezia to secure the player with an initial investment of 4 million euros. The model resembles strategies previously used by Barcelona in dealings with young talents leaving La Masia.

The move also aligns with the player's sporting situation. According to recent reports, Toni Fernández had received offers from Italy, Germany and Sevilla, opting ultimately for Venezia's project.

Venezia now awaits finalizing the remaining formalities to officially announce Toni Fernández's arrival. The verbal agreement is in place for 4 million euros, with 50% of a future sale allocated to Barcelona and a buy-back option requested by Deco, leading to the next step of completing the transfer.
