Franco-Spanish and born in Paris, Hugo Fernandez-Muret will leave the Basque club where he was trained to join FC Valence. Followed by the French and Spanish federations on the east coast of the peninsula, he will commit for three years plus two other easily accessible options.

He has also received a pre-summons notice from La Roja and is being observed by the FFF which has obtained some information in recent months. Real Sociedad tried to retain the boy who wanted to settle in a club which offered the possibility of continuing his studies in an international school.
