""He decided to leave the club. There is no club like Barça and he is not the only one who has left. "We spend two or three hours every day with the players, but we're not inside their heads. We try to do what's best for Dro at all times. "He was a player who wasn't playing for the youth team, and we tried to get him some playing time because we believed he could make a difference.""
""He earned the chance to train with the first team because Flick liked him. He's a player who could be in the youth team playing in the Youth League because that's where he belongs for his age. Welcome, Dro! 🥰 pic.twitter.com/LAuRGAIOHo- Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) February 9, 2026 "However, I think the news has been blown out of proportion because he was a player who was part of the first team dynamic. It's just one more case like many others that have happened.""
""He had a clause and we didn't manage to renew in time. We had an agreement with his agent that we would sit down to negotiate his renewal when the player turned 18. "After that, things moved quickly and there's nothing more to say.""
Pedro 'Dro' Fernandez left Barcelona during the January transfer window to join Paris Saint-Germain after requesting a winter transfer. Barcelona officials say they worked closely with the player and sought the best development pathway, including training him with the first team because Flick favored him. The player was not regularly featuring for the youth side, and the club tried to secure him more playing time. A contractual clause and missed renewal window prevented a new deal before his 18th birthday. An agreement to negotiate at 18 existed, but negotiations stalled and the move proceeded quickly, upsetting the head coach.
