Pedro Fernandez Sarmiento, often called Dro Fernandez, is reportedly very close to joining Paris Saint-Germain this winter. The 18-year-old midfielder does not want to extend his contract, which runs until 2027 with FC Barcelona, and has a release clause of 6 million euros that PSG is expected to take advantage of. However, the deal has yet to be finalized and doubts are emerging. RMC Sport has provided an update, explaining why nothing has been signed yet. There is even uncertainty about the player’s arrival in Paris.
“The deal continues to drag on, mainly because FC Barcelona is furious about the player’s decision. PSG wants to protect its relationship with the Catalans. The situation has really strained the Catalan club, even though PSG is not to blame, as the attacking midfielder has chosen not to play there anymore. This saga is reminiscent of Ousmane Dembélé’s situation in 2023. At the time, the future Ballon d’Or winner also triggered his clause, and the deal took several weeks to materialize. Could the deal fall through? Some close to the matter do not rule out the possibility, but everyone wants to believe that Dro will sign in Paris.”
As long as it’s not official, nothing is certain. We always repeat this, and this case is a perfect example. It still seems possible that Dro Fernandez will sign with PSG, but there has been no confirmation and the transfer window closes on February 2. So, there’s no time to waste.
Paris may want to protect its relationship with Barça, which is understandably unhappy about losing a player. But the young midfielder’s decision to leave is not the responsibility of the Parisian club, which is simply taking advantage of the opportunity. Let’s wait to see how it turns out—football is always full of surprises.
