FC Barcelona<\/strong> and Paris Saint-Germain<\/strong> are finalizing the details of the transfer of Pedro ‘Dro’ Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>. After the dispute of the 2026 Spanish Super Cup<\/a>, the 18-year-old midfielder informed the Catalan club of his desire to leave, once his agent, Iv\u00e1n de la Pe\u00f1a<\/strong>, reached an agreement with PSG for his signing with immediate effect, in the current winter transfer window.<\/p> The news took the management and coaching staff by surprise, generating unease and sadness as it concerned a youth academy player with fantastic potential in the first team. Hansi Flick<\/strong> called up the player from Nigr\u00e1n for all official matches of the season while he was available, giving him minutes (148) in the League (89′) and Champions League (59′)<\/strong>.<\/p> ‘Dro’, in fact, started against Real Sociedad<\/a> (2-1) and Olympiacos<\/a> (6-1), but he preferred to accept the Parisian offer. In principle, the team managed by Luis Enrique<\/strong> would pay the player’s release clause (6 million euros), but finally Bar\u00e7a will let their academy player go for a slightly higher amount, via transfer<\/p> The latest information indicates that Paris Saint-Germain will pay a total of 8.5 million euros<\/strong> for the transfer of ‘Dro’ Fern\u00e1ndez, which will be made official this week, once the midfielder passes his medical examination and the parties sign all the legal documentation.<\/p> The Barcelona board managed to get a little more out of the departure of the 18-year-old midfielder, whose current market value is around 10 ‘kilos’ on the ‘Transfermarkt’ website<\/strong>. PSG, although they will pay an amount higher than the player’s release clause, also benefits by saving money on taxes derived from the operation.<\/p> The player from Nigr\u00e1n will immediately join the Parisian first team squad, where he will compete for a place in the midfield currently dominated by Vitinha, Fabi\u00e1n Ruiz, and Joao Neves. With the latter injured, as is South Korean Kang-in Lee, ‘Dro’ will have to fight for minutes with Parisian academy players **Senny Mayulu** and **Warren Za\u00efre-Emery**, both 19 years old.<\/p> In Barcelona, Hansi Flick keeps **Dani Olmo** and **Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez** as main options for the attacking midfield position, awaiting **Pablo Gavi**’s return at the end of February. Competition for a spot in the Bar\u00e7a XI was by no means easy, but the coaching staff trusted in their medium and long-term projection.<\/p> In this regard, beyond respecting the footballer’s decision to change scenery, Flick did not hesitate to remove Pedro Fern\u00e1ndez from the squad once his intention to leave was confirmed. The manager was firm in his stance, lamenting the factors that may have influenced the departure of the 18-year-old academy player.<\/p> “Things happen in football. You may not agree, but they are 18-year-old players, adults, who make decisions. And there are adults who can incite them… <\/strong>I’ve said enough,” said the Bar\u00e7a coach on the eve of the match against Real Sociedad.<\/p> Likewise, Joan Laporta<\/strong> described the ‘Dro case’ as “an unpleasant situation<\/strong>“. The Bar\u00e7a president revealed that the club’s intention was to extend the midfielder’s contract (which ends in 2027), but Iv\u00e1n de la Pe\u00f1a ruled out this option due to the offer from Paris<\/strong>, where his client will triple his current salary.<\/p> “We’ll talk about it when it’s all done. He has announced that he will not continue. <\/strong>We’ll be able to redirect the situation from how it had been planned,” Laporta said in an interview for ‘Catalunya R\u00e0dio’. In turn, he reiterated that the board will do everything possible to resolve the operation in favor of Bar\u00e7a’s interests. <\/p> “We had agreed on another solution for Dro for when he turned 18 and, surprisingly, his agent told us we couldn’t fulfill what we had agreed upon<\/strong>,” ‘Jan’ pointed out. While the transfer is being finalized, Fern\u00e1ndez continues to train at the Ciutat Esportiva, separate from the first team and the reserves.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pedro ‘Dro’ Fern\u00e1ndez will be presented shortly as a PSG player.
