Paris Saint-Germain holds its first transfer of the winter. At 18, attacking midfielder Dro Fernandez will leave FC Barcelona to join the capital club. According to our information, his signing is imminent. The transfer fee would be slightly above 6 million euros, the amount of his release clause.
If this arrival will undoubtedly delight Luis Enrique, who sees the arrival of a talent full of promise and another solution in his midfield, it does not please Joan Laporta, the Catalan president at all. In an interview with Catalunya Radio, in the program “El Club de la mitjanit” on Sunday evening, the leader expressed his dissatisfaction with this situation.
“We had reached an agreement for him to extend”
“We will talk about it again once everything is finalized,” he initially declared, making no secret of his departure. He announced that he would not stay. This is an unfortunate situation. We will be able to resolve it as planned. It was a surprise. We had reached an agreement for him to extend his contract when he turned 18, and to our surprise, his agent informed us that we could not honor our agreement. »
Dro Fernandez therefore chose to leave Spain to join the European champions. A bold choice for a young player who has only five professional appearances and who celebrated his 18th birthday on January 12.
