PSG transfer: Dro Fernandez signs, completes medical | OneFootball

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 set at 6 million euros, which PSG is expected to take advantage of. Sky Sport DE confirms that the deal is done and that the medical examination as well as the signing are imminent.

"“Done deal! Dro Fernandez to Paris Saint-Germain – DONE. Total agreement between PSG and Dro. Paris activates the 6 million euro release clause. Medical and signing soon. Luis Enrique and Nasser Al-Khelaifi convinced him to make the move. SkySportDE”

The excitement is logical, almost automatic. An 18-year-old, trained at FC Barcelona, an affordable clause, the direct interest of Luis Enrique and the involvement of Nasser Al-Khelaifi: all the ingredients are there to fuel the hype. But Paris Saint-Germain seems determined to proceed methodically. Dro Fernandez is not arriving as a savior, nor as an immediate key player.

This is a long-term bet, on a technical profile, intelligent in play, but still developing. The media buzz currently exceeds what the player has actually proven at the highest level, and Paris is aware of this. The appeal of the deal lies as much in the potential as in the controlled economic context. At 6 million euros, the risk is measured, the idea is clear: to integrate a promising talent into a demanding environment, without putting too much pressure on him. There is confidence, but it does not exclude either patience or high expectations.
