FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Sporting CP, Newcastle, Arsenal, Napoli, and Chelsea have all shown interest in Yeremay Hernández. Although he is relatively unknown on the European stage, playing in Spain’s second division for Deportivo La Coruña, a transfer to a top team in Europe seems imminent. The 22-year-old is an exceptional dribbler with a remarkable ability to make an impact on the pitch.
Many consider him the most talented player in the country, which may seem surprising given that he has never played in La Liga. His identity is similar to that of players like Lamine Yamal or Pedri. What’s even more surprising is the belief that he should have been selected by Luis de la Fuente for the upcoming international gathering in November, despite playing in the second division. This is a rare occurrence in Spanish national team history, typically involving players who have previously played at higher levels. For instance, Gianluigi Buffon’s rare selection happened after Juventus was administratively relegated, but no player has been called up without experiencing La Liga play beforehand.
Top European Clubs Compete for Him
The hype around him in Spain is significant. Week after week, Yeremay delivers highlights that feel otherworldly. Able to pick the ball up from the center circle and weave through multiple defenders, the winger is a crucial part of his club’s impressive season, currently sitting second in the second division. Equally adept on both the left and right, he can execute stunning moves that surprise everyone. His ability to shine in tight spaces occasionally reminds fans of the young, playful Lionel Messi.
Media covering Deportivo La Coruña have described him as humble, mature, and intelligent. In recent months, he turned down lucrative offers from major European clubs to help Deportivo regain their place in La Liga because he recognizes he still has room for growth and doesn’t want to rush his development. He recently shared in an interview with Cadena SER, “I received offers this summer but decided to stay at Deportivo because it was the best choice for me. I dream of moving up to La Liga and supporting the team that helped me become a professional player. There are important decisions to make, and I chose Depor.” However, it seems unlikely that the recent best player in the Spanish second division will remain in La Coruña for long, as interest is expected to continue through the summer.
