There is uncertainty surrounding the future of one of Barcelona’s brightest young talents, as signs of frustration have begun to show due to a lack of first-team opportunities. Sources have confirmed that Guillermo Fernandez, the Spanish Under-19 international, is considering leaving the club in January after becoming frustrated with the board’s failure to deliver on its promises and the difficulty of breaking into Hansi Flick’s plans.
Competition for a midfield position, especially with stars like Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Casado, and Marc Bernal already in the squad, has severely limited Guillermo’s chances, even after Gavi’s injury, which was expected to open a door for him. Instead, Flick converted Eric Garcia into a more advanced role, further fueling Guillermo’s frustration.

During the summer, there was speculation about a possible sale, with clubs like Porto and Borussia Dortmund reportedly willing to pay around five million euros, but Barcelona closed the door on his departure at the time. However, Guillermo has yet to receive a genuine opportunity to feature for the first team, while his peers, such as Toni Fernandez, have secured regular starting appearances. Sources indicate that Guillermo Fernandez has made his final decision to leave in January in search of an opportunity to play at the elite level and continue developing his professional career away from the constraints of competition at Camp Nou, which will determine the next step in his career.
