Girona, Al-Ittihad and Unai Hernandez
Sunday
Girona have approached Al-Ittihad over a loan move for Spanish midfielder Unai Hernandez, with the proposed agreement including an option to buy. Hernandez was left out of Al-Ittihad’s preseason camp as the Saudi club searches for a suitable exit.
Girona would cover only part of Hernandez’s salary, meaning Al-Ittihad would continue paying a significant share during the loan. The structure leaves the Saudi club weighing sporting and financial compromises as it tries to finalise its foreign-player group.
