"As confirmed by the Spanish outlet, the forecast in Catalonia is to make just over €8 million through the sale of Dro to PSG, a considerable €2 million higher than his release clause. While there is understandably a sense of disappointment over his departure, they see the new figure as at least doing some justice as they are losing a player whom they heavily bet on."
"His transfer to the Ligue 1 side is said to be a direct request of former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique who sees him as a valuable piece in the Parisiens' puzzle. Notably, he even had offers from Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund. The coming days will be crucial in the deal getting over the line, and Barcelona will feel some relief to have at least pocketed a decent sum for a player who had not tasted first-team football until this season."
PSG are negotiating a transfer fee slightly above Dro Fernández's €6 million release clause instead of triggering it, aiming to maintain good relations with Barcelona. Barcelona anticipates receiving just over €8 million from the sale, approximately €2 million more than the clause. Barcelona feel disappointed by the departure but consider the higher fee partial compensation for losing a youth player they had invested in. Dro informed club management of his desire to leave, and talks are in final stages with a verbal agreement reportedly in place. Luis Enrique requested the signing, and other clubs had shown interest.
