"But, having just been informed of the player's decision, he ended up allowing his frustration to show. I put a lot of effort in the young players and helping them improve but there are a lot of people around them, Flick said. There are footballers who are 17 or 18 but who have people who make decisions. I don't want to say more."
"Although he has 6m (5.2m) buyout clause, PSG are understood to have agreed a fee over 8m (6.9m) as a gesture of goodwill at the end of a process that has angered Barcelona. It's an unpleasant situation, Laporta told Catalan radio. We had agreed a new situation with Dro for when he turned 18 and surprisingly his agent informed us that he couldn't fulfil what had been agreed."
Dro Fernández joined Barcelona at 14, made his first-team debut in September and turned 18 on 12 January. He arrived in Paris for a medical after informing coach Hansi Flick of his decision to leave the same week that a new contract had been due to be signed. PSG reportedly agreed a fee over €8m despite a €6m buyout clause, prompting anger at Barcelona. Flick expressed frustration about external influences on young players. Dro made only 148 minutes across five games at Barcelona, and there are hopes he will receive more minutes at PSG.
