Another report from SPORT claims that Fernandez’s ambition is to follow in the footsteps of Fermin Lopez, with the Barca prospect hoping to secure a place in the first team. However, should Barca Atletic drop to Spain’s fourth tier, or if he fails to break into the senior squad, Fernandez would be open to a loan move or exploring options with other clubs.
Last year, Barcelona secured a contract extension for Fernandez, tying him to the club until 2027 in what was his first professional deal.
Barcelona will now face Inter in the semi-finals of the Champions League after beating Dortmund 5-3 on aggregate, they will take on Celta on Saturday.
