Barcelona's Guille Fernandez expected to depart before transfer deadline

Guille Fernandez is anticipated to leave FC Barcelona as the transfer window nears its conclusion on September 1. Following injuries and the imminent departures of Toni Fernandez and Alvaro Cortes, the midfielder has been training separately from the main group to prevent further complications. Jorge Mendes, his representative, has been in discussions with Barcelona executives, focusing on a permanent transfer while ensuring the club retains significant control over his economic rights. Newcastle United has expressed strong interest, but Barcelona rejected their initial offer. The decision regarding Fernandez's future is expected shortly as multiple clubs pursue the talented teenager.
