Napoli Sets Sights on Rising Star Yeremay Hernandez

Napoli is showing keen interest in Deportivo La Coruna’s emerging talent, Yeremay Hernandez. The Italian club is exploring options to secure the young player’s services for less than his €20 million release clause.

While Napoli continues to pursue Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, they consider the English club’s asking price excessive. Garnacho’s recent inclusion in United’s starting lineup suggests the Premier League side may be reluctant to sell in January.

Napoli’s Vision for Yeremay

The Partenopei are looking towards Yeremay Hernandez as a future prospect. At just 22 years old, Hernandez has already caught the eye of several clubs, including Como in Serie A, Chelsea, and RC Strasbourg. His background includes time in the youth academies of Las Palmas, Real Madrid, and Deportivo La Coruna.

This season, Hernandez has impressed in LaLiga2, scoring eight goals and providing three assists in 18 appearances. Napoli sees him as a player who could potentially excite fans with his dribbling skills and attacking prowess, similar to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

While Hernandez’s contract includes a €20 million release clause, Napoli is hopeful of negotiating a lower price for the relatively unknown talent. The club’s interest in Hernandez reflects their strategy of identifying and developing promising young players.
