Luis Enrique has a new asset in his offensive arsenal. This Monday, Paris Saint-Germain formalized the transfer of Dro Fernandez from FC Barcelona. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has signed up until 2030 with the Parisians. The two clubs agreed on a transaction for an amount slightly higher than his release clause of 6 million euros.
With its status as European champion, Paris attracted the promising Spaniard, also courted by Chelsea, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund. Fernandez was convinced by the PSG project, which makes this transfer part of its desire to attract young talents and offer them a chance. Désiré Doué, 20 years old, can attest to this.
While the recent history between the two clubs has sometimes been tumultuous, those involved in the matter were keen to preserve their good relations: Nasser al-Khelaïfi is working behind the scenes to reintegrate Barça into the ECA, the European Club Association.
“Give everything for this jersey”
Fernandez will wear number 27, although he will not be able to wear it during Champions League matches. The Spanish U18 international is not qualified for the European competition. On the other hand, he should quickly meet his new partners and train with them.
“I am very happy and very proud to join Paris Saint-Germain. This is a very proud moment for me and my family. PSG is a huge club that I have followed since I was a child, where great legends have left their mark on history. Today, I have a lot of desire and motivation at the idea of playing and giving everything for this jersey,” assured the person concerned, quoted in the press release published by the club.
