"Once news of Dro's decision became known internally, disappointment spread quickly. The sporting leadership were said to be unhappy with losing a young talent who had shown promise whenever he was given opportunities. But the strongest emotional response came from within the squad itself. Gavi, known for his intense personality and strong loyalty to teammates, felt the club had failed to protect one of its own."
"The Copa del Rey tie against Guadalajara was repeatedly referenced in internal discussions. This is because Dro did not play a single minute in that match, and his visible disappointment did not go unnoticed by teammates. For Gavi, it was a lack of trust at a crucial moment. Furthermore, Gavi was particularly unhappy that Barcelona sanctioned the move for just over €8 million, effectively closing the door on further evaluating a player who had surprised many when called upon."
The departure of Pedro 'Dro' Fernandez to Paris Saint-Germain triggered frustration inside Barcelona's dressing room, with Gavi the most vocal. Disappointment spread among sporting leadership and players over losing a promising youth who had impressed when given chances. Gavi believed Dro's exit was avoidable because his minutes were poorly managed during a key phase, leaving the player uncertain about his role. Gavi confronted coaching staff after a tense training exchange. Dro's omission from the Copa del Rey tie and his visible disappointment fed perceptions of mistrust. Barcelona sanctioned the transfer for just over €8 million. Manager Hansi Flick considers the matter closed and rejects claims of unfair treatment.
