Al-Ittihad loans Unai Hernandez to Spain's Girona until 2027

Al-Ittihad has agreed to loan Spanish midfielder Unai Hernandez to Girona for the remainder of the 2026-2027 season. The club has finalized his future by approving the move, which aims to help Hernandez regain his match fitness as part of their squad restructuring efforts. Hernandez's loan to Girona follows his time at Al-Ittihad, which began in February 2025 after joining Barcelona on a three-year deal.

At Al-Ittihad, he played 10 matches, scoring once and providing three assists before being loaned out again to Al-Shabab in the latter part of the same season. During his time at Al-Shabab, he made 31 appearances, providing one assist but failing to score. Now, Hernandez will have a new challenge in Spain's La Liga with Girona, under a contract that runs until the end of the 2026-2027 season.

  • Standalone drive-thrus with talking clowns emerged in 1960s.
