La Liga
Yeremay Hernández has become one of the standout names in Spanish football outside of the First Division. At 23 years old, the Canarian forward has taken the step many were expecting and has established himself as the standout player for Deportivo, a team on the brink of promotion.
His 11 goals and 10 assists explain much of the growth of the Coruña team. Riazor has found in him its main offensive leader, but his performance has also attracted interest from important clubs, with Benfica and Sporting de Portugal particularly attentive to his situation.
Deportivo enjoys its big star
Yeremay has been the player setting the competitive pace for Deportivo throughout the season. In a team obligated to handle the pressure of promotion, the Canarian has responded with personality, talent, and a direct impact on the scoreline.
His impact is not only understood through goals. Yeremay has been about imbalance, final pass, constant threat, and the ability to appear when the team needed him the most. He has played with the responsibility of knowing that a significant part of the attack goes through him, and far from hiding, he has embraced that role naturally.
Deportivo has built much of its promotion candidacy around his talent. The winger has provided solutions in tight matches, created advantages from the left, and shown a competitive maturity that goes beyond his age.
Riazor has turned him into an idol. He is not just an important player for what he produces but also for what he represents: a homegrown player, standout, able to bring excitement back to fans who have been waiting too long for the club's return to where they feel it belongs.
However, this same performance has raised an inevitable question. If Deportivo achieves promotion, can they retain their star?
Portugal presses for Yeremay
The market is already moving around the Canarian attacker. Benfica and Sporting de Portugal have placed Yeremay Hernández among their top targets, and both clubs see him as a strategic investment.
Portuguese football has specialized in identifying young talent, developing it, and projecting it towards major European leagues. Yeremay fits perfectly into that model. He has flair, personality, room for growth, and an offensive output that makes him a very attractive asset.
Sporting has been monitoring his progress for a while. In Lisbon, they see in him a player capable of making a difference from day one but also a player with the potential to increase his value rapidly.
Benfica, on the other hand, does not want to be left out of the competition. The Lisbon club is constantly seeking offensive profiles that can adapt to a demanding context, and Yeremay meets many of the criteria that the sporting directorate typically finds appealing.
The figures being discussed are impressive. Offers on the table could reach up to €50 million, a huge amount for Deportivo, but also a clear sign of the player's level.

A decision that will shape the summer
Deportivo knows it is facing a delicate situation. On one hand, Yeremay is the main symbol of the project and the player who best represents the club's ambition. On the other hand, an operation close to €50 million would completely change the economic capacity of the entity.
Promotion could be a key factor. If the Coruña team returns to the First Division, they will have more sporting arguments to try to convince the player to continue for at least one more season. The opportunity to lead Deportivo in LaLiga would be a very appealing and emotionally powerful challenge.
However, the market does not wait. Benfica and Sporting can offer European competition, international exposure, and an ideal environment for further growth. For a 23-year-old player, moving to Portugal can be a very smart intermediate step before considering an even more powerful league.
Yeremay, in the meantime, finds himself in a privileged position. He has shown he is ready for bigger challenges but also knows his bond with Deportivo is special. It won't be an easy decision.
The only certainty is that his season has changed his career. Months ago, he was a promising talent; now he is one of the most sought-after players in the Spanish market. And if Benfica or Sporting decide to meet the figures being discussed, Deportivo will find it very difficult to shut the door on a historic sale.
