Chelsea has officially submitted a bid for Deportivo La Coruña’s talented winger, Yeremay Hernández, as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
The 22-year-old Spanish youth international has been in sensational form this season, catching the attention of several top clubs, including the Blues.
Chelsea’s Offer and Deportivo’s Response
Reports from Spain initially linked Chelsea with Hernández, with later confirmation from French media revealing that their affiliate club, Strasbourg, is leading the pursuit.
The plan is for Chelsea to sign Hernández and loan him to Strasbourg to continue his development in Ligue 1.
However, Chelsea’s opening offer of €10 million plus bonuses falls well below Hernández’s €20 million release clause, which Deportivo insists must be met.
While Chelsea is willing to include a sell-on percentage and potential player swaps, Deportivo has reportedly rejected the bid, leaving Chelsea to decide whether to return with an improved offer.
Mudryk’s Uncertain Future
The move for Hernández comes amid growing doubts over Mykhailo Mudryk’s future at Chelsea.
The Ukrainian winger, signed for €100 million, has struggled to meet expectations, and his situation has become even more complicated due to his provisional doping ban.
With the club potentially moving on from Mudryk, the interest in Hernández suggests Chelsea is already preparing for a long-term replacement.
What’s Next?
It remains unclear whether Chelsea will improve their offer for Hernández or explore alternative options.
With the January transfer window in full swing, the Blues are expected to remain active in the market, balancing immediate squad needs with long-term planning.
