Pedro Fernandez Sarmiento, often called Dro Fernandez, is reportedly very close to joining Paris Saint-Germain this winter. The 18-year-old midfielder doesn’t want to extend his contract with FC Barcelona, which expires in 2027, and has a €6 million release clause, with PSG expected to pay slightly more. Journalist Fabrizio confirms that the deal is almost done.
“Dro and Paris Saint-Germain, it’s only a matter of time, as announced two weeks ago.
The verbal agreement between PSG and Dro has been reached. He wants to join Paris.
PSG and Barcelona are on the verge of finalizing an agreement for a sum slightly above the €6 million release clause, in order to maintain good relations.”
This is further confirmation of the surprise move, with PSG negotiating with Barça for a fee slightly higher than the release clause. This is a point of contention for maintaining good relations; it could also be a request from Dro Fernandez as a sign of gratitude towards his former club. There was also talk of a tax difference.
In any case, the transfer is taking shape again after a few days of uncertainty. All of this is taking longer than what was discussed last weekend, as is often the case. A reminder of the need for caution during the transfer window. Moreover, the midfielder’s arrival at PSG is still not certain, let alone the financial details or the timing.
