Pedro Fernandez Sarmiento, often called Dro Fernandez, has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain this winter. The 18-year-old midfielder does not want to extend his contract with FC Barcelona, which expires in 2027, and has a €6 million release clause that PSG would like to trigger. RMC Sport confirmed this interest on Saturday.
“A contract offer has been sent to the player.”
The Parisian club wants to sign Dro Fernandez. A product of La Masia, the 18-year-old attacking midfielder will not extend his contract with Barça. He is under contract until 2027 and has a relatively low release clause (€6 million). A contract offer has been sent to the player.
In Paris, they believe the player has enormous potential and is a perfect fit for Luis Enrique’s style of play… who, incidentally, shares the same agent, Iván de la Peña. As reported by the daily newspaper Mundo Deportivo, other European clubs like Manchester City are monitoring the player.
Several media outlets have mentioned this possibility, which is quite credible given how well it fits with PSG’s project. It perfectly aligns with a phrase repeatedly used by coach Luis Enrique and the management: to be attentive to opportunities. Seeing Dro Fernandez refuse to extend his contract presents a great opportunity.
He is a very versatile attacking midfielder who could fit perfectly into PSG’s style of play. Having the same agent as the coach is also a significant advantage in negotiations. These negotiations will primarily be with the player’s representatives, since the release clause seems like a gift for this young talent.
A signing with PSG is quite plausible, and we’ve seen this season that an additional option can be beneficial. However, nothing is finalized yet. Other European clubs could still try their luck.
