In his initial statements wearing PSG colors, Dro Fernandez expressed that he chose Paris to further his development, stating that “there is no better place to progress.” This remark did not go unnoticed by the Catalan press, particularly by Mundo Deportivo, which deemed it “questionable.” The publication highlighted that Barcelona routinely provides early opportunities to its young talents, citing examples like Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, and Marc Bernal.

This media statement has further irritated Barcelona’s management, who were already frustrated by the player’s desire to leave La Masia. Hansi Flick, the head coach, openly expressed his disappointment, emphasizing the importance of patience and total commitment for success at Barcelona. According to the German coach, each training session with the first team is a vital part of a developmental process that the player apparently was not willing to wait for.

After being sidelined from the Barcelona squad last week, Dro Fernandez was officially confirmed as a PSG player on Monday evening. The midfielder took part in his first training session with his new team on Tuesday at the Campus, engaging with the iconic Champions League balls.
