FC Barcelona youngster Guille Fernandez is considered one of the brightest emerging talents to come through La Masia.

At just 18 years old, the midfielder is already taking part in his third pre-season with the first team under Hansi Flick.

However, the next steps for the teenage midfielder beyond the pre-season are unclear, with the Catalans yet to decide whether to loan him out or integrate him into the senior team.

Andorra and Sabadell register their interest

Now, according to SPORT, both Andorra and Sabadell have contacted Barcelona to explore the possibility of signing Guille on loan for the upcoming season.

Despite the confidence in his future, there is a shared belief within the club that another season with Barça Atletic in the Segunda RFEF would not provide the level of competition he now needs.

To continue progressing, Guille is expected to take the next step by gaining regular minutes in professional football.

With that in mind, the two aforementioned clubs have already made enquiries.

Both Andorra and Sabadell believe the young midfielder has the profile to become a key figure in their teams, offering work rate in midfield, technical quality in possession and the ability to contribute in the final third.

No decision yet

For Guille, as per the report, the priority this summer is clear: convince Flick that he deserves a genuine role in the senior squad this season.

For now, a loan remains just one of several options under consideration for the teenage midfielder. With almost the entire month of August still remaining in the transfer window, Barcelona are in no rush to make a final decision.

The coaching staff will continue evaluating Guille’s progress throughout pre-season before deciding whether a temporary move is the best option for his development.

However, what is clear is that the Catalans have complete faith in his long-term potential and see him as a future first-team player.

As such, irrespective of whether he stays or goes out on loan for the upcoming season, Barcelona’s plan is to secure his future with a long-term contract renewal.
