Transfer news – Dro Fernandez to PSG, Luis Enrique key to the deal

Pedro Fernandez Sarmiento, often called Dro Fernandez, is reported to be 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 at FC Barcelona, and has a release clause of 6 million euros that PSG is expected to take advantage of. AS confirms this and highlights the essential role of Parisian coach Luis Enrique in this matter.

“Dro is attracted by the idea of playing under the Asturian coach.”

“PSG hopes to finalize the transfer of Dro Fernandez in the coming hours. The midfielder will now pay his release clause, since he is 18 years old, and PSG has taken advantage of the situation to convince him. The presence of Luis Enrique has been decisive in getting ahead of many prestigious European clubs who had shown interest in recent hours and were even ready to offer him a much higher sum. Dro is attracted by the idea of playing under the Asturian coach. The native of Gijón sees Dro as a midfielder capable of bringing added quality to PSG and complementing Vitinha, João Neves, and Fabián.”

Of course, caution is advised regarding the details for a transfer that has not even been signed yet. But it is very credible that Luis Enrique helped convince Dro Fernandez. He has established a beautiful playing philosophy, an admired team, all while relying on young talents. The 18-year-old midfielder can believe that he will truly get his chance.
