Hansi Flick ‘considering promoting’ another Barcelona starlet to first-team | OneFootball

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is giving serious consideration to affording a member of the club’s youth ranks a permanent spot in his first-team squad.

That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who point towards Unai Hernández as the player in question.

Unai, for those not familiar with his name, is a 19-year-old midfielder, who has long been making a name for himself as a potential star in the making in Catalunya’s capital.

Afforded a place in the Barca Atlètic setup in the summer of 2023, Unai has since gone from strength to strength.

Across the campaign to date, the youngster has featured from the off and seen out the full 90 minutes in all of Barca Atlètic’s six league fixtures.

And his performances, evidently, have begun to pique attentions at senior level.

As per a report from the aforementioned MD, amid ongoing efforts to tie Unai down to a new contract, ‘Flick is considering his promotion’.
