"We will speak when it's all done, it has been an unpleasant situation. It came as a surprise because we had agreed on a different solution for when he turned 18. Surprisingly, his representative told us he couldn't follow through on what we'd agreed to. We will try to make it end in the best interests of Barca."
"We give them the opportunity to train with us, to grow, every day, with the best players in the world. We give them the opportunity, we give them the support, believe in them, the confidence. If you want to play for Barca, then (do it) 100 percent with your whole heart. This is what I want to say to everyone who is now with us, or in the future with us, this must be 100 percent."
Dro Fernández, aged 18 and a La Masia prospect, is set to join Paris Saint-Germain for a reported €8million, slightly above his release clause. The transfer follows frustration over limited playing time and only eight Barcelona appearances. Barcelona feel irritated after the player's agent reportedly failed to follow through on an agreed solution when Dro turned 18, prompting the club to seek a resolution in its best interests. Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to pay an inflated fee as a gesture of goodwill. Club leadership and coaching staff have expressed displeasure and stressed that youth players must commit fully to the club's values.
