According to the latest report from Sky Sports in the UK, two Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester United have also fallen in love with a midfield talented star, who is Juan Hernandez, who currently plays for La Liga giants Barcelona.

Juan Hernandez, a talented Spanish star, is only 17 years old this year, playing as an attacking midfielder. Not only is he fast and explosive, he also has excellent frontcourt creativity. Currently, he is an important player of Barcelona's U19 youth team. Data shows that although he only scored 2 goals in this season's game, each goal is worth a thousand gold. Especially in the European Youth League semi-finals against Alkmaar, he scored a winning penalty, showing his strong psychological quality far exceeding his age.

In addition, Juan Hernandez has comprehensive skills and excellent ball control skills. He can often flexibly get rid of defensive players in a small space. Moreover, his passes are extremely creative and can often send out accurate straightener balls to tear the opponent's defense, creating excellent scoring opportunities for teammates. Considering that he is only 17 years old now, his future will definitely be limitless in time.

We know that both Chelsea and Manchester United have always had a strategic tradition of exploring the world's best young talents. Such a talented genius star Hernandez will naturally not miss these two Premier League giants.

It is worth mentioning that Chelsea's plan is very long-term, and after completing the deal, they may loan Juan Hernandez to France's sister club Strasbourg. In Strasbourg, Hernandez can obviously get more first-team opportunities to play, constantly accumulate practical experience in higher-level leagues, and return to Chelsea when the time is ripe and become the backbone of the team's midfield. For the Red Devils, Manchester United, they are eager to inject fresh blood into the midfield by introducing Hernandez and enhancing the team's creativity and offensive firepower.

It is reported that Juan Hernandez's current termination fee is 6 million euros. If Barcelona does not agree to release the person, these two Premier League giants can activate the termination fee clause on Juan Hernandez and take him away directly. Judging from Juan Hernandez's current ability and age, even if you directly pay 6 million euros to activate the liquidated damages clause, it is a very good choice. Finally, I hope Juan Hernandez can establish his new owner as soon as possible.
