Unai Hernández, a midfielder born in 2003 and developed at Barcelona's La Masia, is attracting interest from Al Ittihad. His current contract with Barcelona will expire in June 2025. Ramon Planes, the former Barcelona sports secretary now working with Al Ittihad, has started discussions regarding Hernández's potential transfer to Saudi Arabia. Although the deal has not yet been finalized, it is regarded as concrete, with a possible transfer fee ranging from 4 to 5 million euros. Hernández, who made his debut in a friendly match against Vissel Kobe on June 6, 2023, is contemplating the move due to limited playing opportunities at Barcelona, particularly with the presence of players like Marc Bernal and Casadó.
