Dro Fernandez to PSG: Irles highlights his potential and urges calm | OneFootball

The reactions surrounding Dro Fernandez’s arrival at Paris Saint-Germain have been numerous, sometimes excessive, for a player still in the development phase. On Canal Plus, Bruno Irles offered a measured analysis of the young midfielder’s profile, reminding everyone that above all, he is a promising talent, consistent with the Parisian project, but far from being a player ready to shake up the established order in the short term.

Irles: “He’s an intelligent player”

The Bordeaux coach describes an intelligent, technically sound player, capable of drawing the play in to create space, far from the cliché of a young hothead relying solely on speed. This portrait fits precisely with what PSG is looking to establish: profiles capable of understanding the game inside, keeping possession, and organizing play. However, Irles tempers any immediate expectations. Dro Fernandez is a player to be shaped, destined to progress step by step, with targeted appearances and gradual learning. The comparison with Fabian Ruiz is more of a long-term goal than a short-term expectation.

This sequence also illustrates a shift in how young players are viewed at PSG. The hype exists—almost inevitably—but the club now seems better equipped to channel it. Dro Fernandez is not a marketing symbol: he is a sporting project, designed to be built over time.
