Yeremay Hernandez has sparked major transfer speculation in recent weeks, with Chelsea making multiple offers for the talented 22-year-old winger, who has been in excellent form this season for Deportivo La Coruña. However, it turns out he’s not going anywhere.
The last offer presented by Chelsea was 15 million euros, but it was rejected because only offers of 20 million euros would be accepted, which is Yeremay’s release clause. However, the player himself would reject any progress even if it occurred, as Deportivo confirmed in an official statement that it has been agreed that both parties will remain together until the end of the season.
“RC Deportivo and Yeremay Hernández Cubas have agreed to continue together, despite all the offers received by the Canarian footballer during the current transfer market. This is a process that reinforces mutual commitment to the Club’s long-term project.
“The Club and the player, who has a contract with Deportivo until 2030, were the subject of numerous proposals, but both parties decided to continue working together to continue their mutual growth.
“Yeremay, consolidated as one of the great figures of the first team, is a fundamental alliance in building the future of Deportivo. This season, the ’10’ has played 19 games, scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists, contributing decisively to the team’s objectives not returning to professional football.
“RC Deportivo celebrates Yeremay’s decision to continue writing his history at the Club and appreciates his trust in a project that continues to grow.”
It is excellent news for Deportivo that Yeremay is not leaving mid-season as they desperately needed him to stay given that they are involved in the battle for relegation to Segunda. The funds would have been good, although the most important thing in the short term is that they remain in the second division of Spanish football.
