The 2025/2026 winter transfer window is now being prepared, and perhaps even next summer as well, so rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. This time, it’s Mundo Deportivo that mentions their desire to recruit Juan Hernández, the 18-year-old midfielder from Barça Atlético (FC Barcelona’s affiliate club) who is under contract until 2026.
“An ideal asset for their project”
“Paris Saint-Germain has set its sights on Juan Hernández (18 years old), one of FC Barcelona Atlético’s most promising young players. PSG and Luis Enrique himself, always on the lookout for young FC Barcelona talents, are closely monitoring his progress and consider him an ideal asset for their project of developing high-performing young European players despite their expensive transfers. His release clause is set at six million euros, but upon the expiration of his contract, he could be signed for free.”
The FC Barcelona midfielder has become a very affordable option for a player of his potential, especially since his contract extension with Barça is not yet finalized, despite initial contact between the club and his representatives.
Nothing is impossible; PSG, like many clubs, is always on the lookout for young talent. They need to strengthen the squad without spending a fortune. This is especially true with coach Luis Enrique, who knows how to integrate young players into his team and help them develop. Juan Hernandez is described as a talented and very versatile midfielder, and that fits the bill. His expiring contract also presents a possible opportunity.
However, nothing is certain. Every year, numerous players are linked to PSG without any confirmation. This is particularly true in Spain, where the media likes to involve the Parisian club in its transfer rumors, especially when there’s a chance of a “victory” for Barça or Real Madrid. As seen here, with a possible contract extension for Juan Hernandez.
We’ll have to wait for confirmation. There’s far too much uncertainty, with no concrete information.
