Barcelona youngster Unai Hernandez has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad.

The Saudi club have opened talks with Barcelona over a potential move for the 20-year-old, according to Mundo Deportivo and Sport.

Unai is out of contract at the end of the season and is said to be “willing” to head to Al-Ittihad on what would be a lucrative contract.

Sport say that Unai has even asked not to be part of the squad for the team’s next game as he’s currently in talks over a move.

It’s thought Al-Ittihad could pay a fee of around 5 million for Unai, if Barcelona agree to let him go in the winter window.
