Transfer news: PSG move for Barcelona wonderkid in €6 million deal!

The winter transfer window 2025/2026 runs from Thursday, January 1st to Monday, February 2nd (at 8 PM) in France, and rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. This time, Mundo Deportivo and journalist Fabrizio Romano report that PSG is making progress in recruiting Pedro Fernandez Sarmiento, often called Dro Fernandez. The 18-year-old midfielder does not want to extend his contract, which ends in 2027 at FC Barcelona, and Paris wants to take advantage of his release clause set at 6 million euros.

Mundo Deportivo:

The player from the youth academy has a release clause of 6 million euros, and although the Catalan club intended to extend and improve his contract, which expires in 2027, everything suggests he will leave the club during the winter transfer window. The player sees strong competition in the midfield and feels he has very little playing time, despite the great confidence shown in him by the club and Hansi Flick. Several sources within the locker room have told MD that Paris Saint-Germain could be a possible destination, given the comments the player reportedly made to his teammates. Internal sources at the club seem to confirm this hypothesis, while the player's entourage categorically states that no offer has been received from PSG and that his future destination remains uncertain. Initial indications point to offers from England (Manchester City was interested) and Germany, but PSG cannot be excluded, given its financial means and in-depth knowledge of FC Barcelona's youth academy.

Fabrizio Romano:

“Paris Saint-Germain has presented its contract proposal to Dro, who is preparing to leave Barcelona. PSG is eager to recruit the 18-year-old midfielder, and negotiations are already underway behind the scenes, particularly for a release clause of 6 million euros.”

Nothing is finalized yet, no official confirmation. But seeing Fabrizio Romano confirm this lead so quickly, as mentioned in Spain, is interesting. It feels less like PSG is being used. However, it cannot be ruled out yet, as this is something we have seen regularly in recent years.

It is still a case to follow because Paris could well play this nasty trick on Barça. Dro Fernandez is a great talent who seems to have the perfect profile for coach Luis Enrique's game and PSG's project. It could be a superb opportunity to seize, and it would be logical for the club to try its luck.
