The Union Resolves Unai Hernandez's Future with a Surprising Decision Before the New Season
The management of the Saudi Union Club has made an intriguing decision regarding the future of Spanish player Unai Hernandez, just before the start of the new football season in the Saudi Professional League.
The newspaper "Al-Youm" revealed that the Union's management decided to register Hernandez in the under-21 youth team list, in order to make room for signing a new foreign player in the first team roster during the current summer transfer window.
Hernandez had joined the Union from Barcelona's B team in the last winter transfer window, where he participated in some matches, but the club sees that the best option currently is to invest in him with the youth team.
According to the same sources, the Union is seeking to acquire new foreign players to compensate for the gaps in the starting lineup, in implementation of the recommendations of French coach Laurent Blanc, who called for strengthening several positions before the season kicks off.
It is worth noting that the Union has already made several local signings this summer, the most notable being the contracts with Mohammed Barnaoui, Mohammed Al-Absi, and Ahmed Al-Jlaydan, while the team lost to Al-Nasr by two goals to one in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup.
