With almost the entire month of August still remaining in the transfer window, Barcelona are in no rush to make a final decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coaching staff will continue evaluating Guille\u2019s progress throughout pre-season before deciding whether a temporary move is the best option for his development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, what is clear is that the Catalans have complete faith in his long-term potential and see him as a future first-team player. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, irrespective of whether he stays or goes out on loan for the upcoming season, Barcelona\u2019s plan is to <a href=\"https:\/\/barcauniversal.com\/barcelona-intend-to-renew-academy-midfield-gems-contract-before-loaning-him-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">secure his future with a long-term contract renewal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona youngster Guille Fernandez is considered one of the brightest emerging talents to come through La Masia.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":805279,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[418,49042,4893,341919,403,99],"class_list":["post-805278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-news","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-guille-fernandez","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=805278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/805279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=805278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=805278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=805278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
