Nurnberg retains Fernandez on loan

Nurnberg can plan with Javier Fernandez. The 19-year-old midfielder will be loaned again from FC Bayern München.

What happens with Fernandez?

Fernandez was loaned for the first time from FC Bayern last winter. In the second half of the previous season, he played eight times in the 2. Bundesliga, scoring one assist.

The plan with Fernandez

„Javier has shown what great potential he has. We are very happy about the steps he has taken since his move to us. It was always the plan to keep him with us beyond the second half of the season. We are therefore very happy that this plan is now working out“, said Joti Chatzialexiou, Nurnberg's sports director.

Further personnel decisions

Right-back Jannik Hofmann will remain with Rot-Weiss Essen after his loan, which failed to promote to the 2. Bundesliga against SpVgg Greuther Fürth. „Jannik has had a remarkable career with the club, from the youth team to the professional level. We are happy that he has been successful and wish him all the best for his future“, said Chatzialexiou.
