Barcelona President Upset as Teenage Talent Dro Fernandez Plans Move to PSG
Barcelona's President Joan Laporta has expressed displeasure at the decision of teenage talent Dro Fernandez to leave the club for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) despite a previously agreed new deal. Dro, an 18-year-old central midfielder who joined Barcelona's La Masia youth academy in Galicia, Spain, is reportedly set to join PSG for a fee slightly above six million euros.
Laporta revealed his surprise at the situation, indicating that Barcelona had agreed on a different solution with Dro when he turned 18. The club's coach, Hansi Flick, has shown disappointment at Dro's impending departure, emphasizing the player's potential and expressing a desire for him to stay and play for Barcelona.
Dro, who made eight appearances for the club earlier in January, has expressed his commitment to giving his all for Barcelona. The situation highlights the challenges in retaining young talents in the competitive football landscape.
