Strasbourg see Yeremay Hernandez bid rejected

As per L’Équipe, RC Strasbourg Alsace have seen a €10m bid for Deportivo de la Coruña’s Yeremay Hernandez (22) rejected.

BlueCo, through Chelsea and Strasbourg, are showing a strong interest in recruiting Hernandez, currently competing in La Liga 2. The winger has a €20m release clause and Les Alsaciens have seen an initial €10m offer (without bonuses), rejected by the Spanish side.

Deportivo de la Coruña are showing themselves to be unflinching in setting their price with the club seemingly holding out until a club comes in and pays the release clause. It remains to be seen whether Strasbourg will up their offer for the Spaniard or whether Chelsea will instead come to the table. L’Équipe had initially evoked the idea of the Premier League side signing Hernandez before then loaning him out to France. In that scenario, one of the current loans between the two clubs would have to be cut short. Currently injured, Caleb Wiley would be the most obvious candidate.

All the while, there is interest from elsewhere. L’Équipe understands that Napoli and Porto are also in for the young Spanish winger.
