Report: Manchester City showing growing intent to sign 17-year-old Barcelona prodigy | OneFootball

According to recent reports from Fichajes, Manchester City have shown strong interest in signing Barcelona’s 17-year-old sensation Pedro ‘Dro’ Fernández. 

The Premier League heavyweights are said to be willing to pay up to €10 million to secure the talented midfielder, who has quickly become one of the brightest prospects to emerge from La Masia.

Inside Barcelona, Dro is viewed as the perfect example of what the club’s youth academy stands for – a mix of talent, discipline, and huge potential for development. 

However, Manchester City’s offer has sparked internal discussions about how best to protect one of their most promising players.

Barcelona’s technical staff have been particularly impressed by the teenager’s maturity and tactical understanding at such a young age. 

His progress through the ranks has been rapid, and his debut with the senior side has already showcased his ability to perform under pressure.

With City pushing hard to lure him away, the club now faces a critical decision between accepting a lucrative offer or investing in his long-term growth.

Barcelona unlikely to let him leave

For Barcelona, losing Dro would not only mean saying goodbye to one of their most gifted youngsters but also a player who could play a significant role in the team’s future. 

While the €10 million offer could help strengthen other areas, the Catalan side are aware that replacing homegrown talent like him is never easy.

The teenager has trained under Hansi Flick for an extended period and has already started in major fixtures, including games against Real Sociedad and Olympiacos. 

These appearances underline the trust the German coach has in him and highlight how much the club values his potential. 

Given the faith shown by the coaching staff and his steady rise, it seems highly unlikely that Barcelona will part ways with the young midfielder anytime soon.
