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 expires in 2027, with FC Barcelona and has a €6 million release clause that PSG is expected to trigger. L’Equipe has now confirmed the Parisian club’s progress.
“An agreement has even been reached, and the contract should run until 2030.”
“L’Equipe can confirm that PSG has submitted a contract offer in recent days to the FC Barcelona attacking midfielder. An agreement has even been reached, and the contract should run until 2030.
Negotiations are at an advanced stage between the two parties, and the Spaniard has informed his club’s management that he will leave Catalonia this winter. After reaching a contractual agreement with the midfielder (who has made four appearances for the first team this season), Paris will have to activate his release clause, estimated at €6 million according to the Spanish press.”
“Paris has been very confident in recent hours.”
PSG isn’t the only club interested; English clubs are trying to lure the U18 international to the Premier League, but internally, Paris has been very confident in recent hours that the deal will be finalized very quickly.
This is further confirmation; there are no longer any major doubts surrounding this transfer. However, we remain cautious, as things can change very quickly in football and during the transfer window. We’ve already seen players change clubs at the last minute.
PSG seems to have made good progress, and the price tag is clearly not an issue for such a talented player. He fits the Parisian project, with a versatility that should appeal to coach Luis Enrique and a technical ability that suggests great things to come. He will need to be nurtured, of course. That’s precisely the idea in Paris these days.
