Guille Fernández joined the famous La Masia from the local rivals Espanyol in 2018. His cousin Toni is also making waves within Barcelona’s youth ranks. Guille is considered to be one of the most promising players of his generation in Europe.

He is also a regular youth international for Spain – he started at the U-15 level and now he is the youngest member of the U-17 setup.
