Dro Fernandez joins PSG, Senegal win AFCON | OneFootball

This Monday, January 19, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain regarding the upcoming arrival of Dro Fernandez (an 18-year-old attacking midfielder from FC Barcelona and Spain's U18 team). There's also the anniversary of the match against Manchester City and the African Cup of Nations won by Senegal against Morocco after a tense evening.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

Dro Fernandez is an immense talent, and there is anger on the Barça side with this almost certain departure. It should be for a signing at PSG by activating his release clause of 6 million euros. A great opportunity to strengthen the squad. There is hope of having an important player for the coming years. And if he doesn't live up to expectations, the expense is minimal. There is still great hope with coach Luis Enrique.

He indeed achieved a breakthrough with his team a year ago in a memorable evening against Manchester City. It will remain in history, even if it is not the only decisive match of the 2024-2025 season.

Yesterday, another historic evening took place, with Ibrahim Mbaye (a 17-year-old striker from PSG) winning the African Cup of Nations with Senegal against Morocco's unfortunate Achraf Hakimi (a 27-year-old Parisian right-back). Unfortunately, the match was also marked by significant tensions. But the title should not be overshadowed.
