Unai Hernández has officially completed his transfer to Al-Ithad, signing a three-year contract with the Saudi Arabia club.
The measure had been in process for several days, and the announcement was finally made through the social media channels of the club.
Hernández’s contract with Barcelona ended on June 30. Initially, the plan was to renew its agreement with the Catalan side, but the offer of Al-Ithad caused a change of address for both the player and the club.
After the completion of his medical examination in Barcelona, Hernández traveled to Jeddah, where he is ready to join his new teammates under the guide of coach Laurent Blanc.
The agreed transfer rate for the agreement is € 4.5 million, with the possibility of increasing to € 5 million if certain clauses related to performance are easily attainable.
Lamine Yamal reaction
Ramon Plans, who previously served as Technical Secretary of Barcelona and is now the sports director of Al-Iitad, played a crucial role in facilitation of this transfer.
His familiarity with Hernández and the vision of the player’s potential made him instrumental to seal the treatment. Girona, a club with links with the operation, will also benefit financially from the transaction.
When Hernández leaves for his new chapter in Saudi Arabia, the measure has not gone unnoticed by his former colleagues in Barcelona.
Lamine Yamal turned to social networks to share a sincere message for her former youth teammate. Yamal’s gesture highlighted the link between the two players, even when their professional paths diverge.
A long -term contract
Hernández’s contract with Al-Titihad includes three guaranteed seasons, with an additional two option.
The measure represents a significant step in his career, offering him the opportunity to gain experience in a competitive and growing league.
Barcelona’s decision to leave it, despite the initial renewal plans, underlines the impact of the lucrative offer of Al-Ithad.
While Hernández sits in life in Jeddah, all eyes will be in how he adapts to his new environment and contributes to the success of his team.
The transfer marks another example of how the Saudi professional league is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for promising football talent.
