Hernandez is keen to stay at the club, and has rejected offers from big clubs during the summer, and on top of that, Barcelona i agree. When his new deal was signed, he will start training with the first team more often.
The 19-year-old scored 10 goals and provided 7 assists last season under Rafael Marquez, notably grabbing a hat-trick and an assist in just 70 minutes during the promotion play-off against UD Ibiza. Hernandez has Raphinha, Pau Victor, Ferran Torres and perhaps Dani Olmo ahead of him in the left-back position in the first team, and while they are all good options there, it is not a specific area of depth.
