Lamine Yamal was not the only Culé discussed at the Mendes-Laporta 'summit', what was the other one?

Not long ago, it was reported through various news outlets that Jorge Mendes, the 59-year-old Portuguese agent who represents, among others, several players from FC Barcelona, met in Lisbon with Joan Laporta, the club's president, and Deco, the sports director. The 'summit' had as its main theme the upcoming contract extension of Lamine Yamal, which is rumored to be extended until 2030. Although it is said that the negotiations are quite advanced, there are still some details to be finalized.

However, despite mentioning that the meeting had the sole purpose of discussing Lamine Yamal, in reality, the topic of another player represented by Jorge Mendes was also discussed, who is currently emerging as one of the great promises of La Masia. According to 'Mundo Deportivo,' during this 'summit' between the Barça board and the Portuguese agent, the name of Guille Fernández specifically was mentioned.

According to 'MD,' when discussing the young midfielder from FC Barcelona, it was conveyed to Jorge Mendes how pleased they are with the level that Guille Fernández has been demonstrating. The player from Rubí has become one of the key players in the starting lineup of Barça Atlètic, having participated in a total of 21 matches this season, scoring five goals and providing an assist.

Furthermore, on several occasions, he has had the opportunity to train with the first team and has even been called up on nine occasions under the orders of Hansi Flick. However, he has not yet made his official debut in the top category of Culé football.

Guille Fernández, the next youth player to make the leap to the first team?

Now, it should not be overlooked that Guille Fernández is among the players who could make the leap to the first team. Apparently, the forecast is that the midfielder, who is under contract with the Blaugrana entity until June 30, 2027, could participate in the summer 2025-26 preseason tour under the orders of Hansi Flick.

During this period, the German coach will have the opportunity to observe him more closely and determine whether or not he can secure a place in the first team. However, for Guille Fernández, the chances of settling in could prove to be somewhat challenging, given the number of players in the midfield of the Culé team.
