Unai Hernández set to return to Girona four years later

Girona is close to completing the arrival of Unai Hernández, who will return to the Catalan club four years after leaving. According to SER, the deal will be finalized in the coming hours: the 21-year-old playmaker will arrive on loan from Al-Ittihad until the end of the season, with a purchase option included in the agreement.

Hernández knows the club well. He left Girona in 2022 to develop in Barcelona's youth academy, but now returns as a professional footballer to strengthen Quique Álvarez's project. His technical profile, with ability to operate between the lines and appear in the opponent's box, offers new attacking options to a team still expecting several moves before the transfer window closes.

For Girona, this loan is a way to add talent without making an initial definitive investment, while reserving the right to acquire his rights at the end of the season. The operation also carries an emotional component: Unai will have the opportunity to help the club in its bid to return to La Liga.
