Barcelona are going to sell Unai Hernández / Besoccer

FC Barcelona could give the green light to an unexpected operation in its subsidiary. While attention is focused on possible arrivals and departures from the first team, Barça Atlètic has taken center stage with the potential departure of Unai Hernández. The young forward, whose contract expires in June 2025, is reportedly very close to finalizing his transfer to Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia for an amount that would range between 5 and 6 million euros.

The operation is reportedly being led by Ramon Planes, former sporting director of Barcelona, who is now part of the Saudi team. According to information from the newspaper Sport, Hernández has requested not to be called up by coach Albert Sánchez for the match against Ourense in matchday 21 of Primera RFEF, as he is in advanced negotiations with the club from Jeddah. This decision fuels rumors about his imminent departure.

Another promise from Barcelona seeking his place outside the club for economic reasons

Unai Hernández has been a key player for Barça Atlètic this season, participating in all matches played to date and scoring nine goals and providing three assists. Despite his youth, the player has established himself as one of the standout values of the reserve team, primarily acting as a left winger.

From the club's sporting direction, led by Deco, they see this sale as an opportunity to alleviate the economic pressures that hinder movements in the first team. Although attempts to sell players like Ansu Fati or Eric García have not succeeded, the income from Hernández could serve as a boost to make a last-minute signing, such as the possible loan of Marcus Rashford.
