In the summer, FC Barcelona lost one of her great talents. The 19-year-old striker Marc Guiu apparently did not believe in the project of Hansi Flick and decided to move to Chelsea, who had to pay a small departure clause of EUR 6 million for him.
Although the Spaniard certainly received much greater earnings in London, this movement did not necessarily pay off. In the Premier League he played only 70 minutes, he got a little more chance in the conference league, where he scored 6 goals for about 400 minutes, and in addition from February he has treated a serious thigh injury, which eliminated him from the game for three months.
Chelsea goes for another Barcelona pearl. Promotional price
Meanwhile, Chelsea with a very rich owner Todd Boehly does not intend to stop at “fishing” of pearls from the Barcelona nursery. According to the Catalan “Sport”, she just took the next footballer – less than 18 -year -old midfielder Juan Hernandez.
This, unlike Guiu, did not debut in the first team yet, he began the season in the third league Barca reserves (8 matches), but later returned to the junior team led with successes by Juliano Belletti, who turned out to be the best in the UEFA Youth League, winning the final with Trabzonspor 4: 1.
Hernandez at the UEFA Youth League as an offensive midfielder was one of the key players, even if they did not show this number, because he scored only two goals in ten matches. In addition, he is a player of the Spanish national team up to 19 years old.
Now before Hernandez a serious decision on the future, because his contract only applies for a year and a distance clause of EUR 6 million is inscribed in it, which is “small” for English giants. Chelsea in the event of a transfer would rent him to the French Strasbourg, but Manchester United is also interested in young Spanish.
If you stay in FC Barcelona, Juan Hernandez would most likely be moved to the second team, but it also depends on whether Barcelona's reserves can be kept in the third league.
