"There are people around them who might be inciting them. I don't want to answer this question because, as a coach, what I do is give the players confidence. You try to believe in them so they can grow. I also know there are people around them. I want to wait until this is all in the past. If they decide to change clubs, then we'll deal with it. Now is not the time."
"The 18-year-old has appeared five times for the senior side this season, but reports suggest Dro wants to leave this month by not renewing his youth contract and exercising his current €6m release clause. A host of Europe's elite clubs are said to be on high alert to sign the Barcelona prospect, with Paris Saint-Germain chief among them, and Flick suggested Dro's desire to move has been influenced by those advising him."
"Flick also says performances in training and on the pitch will see Barcelona players earn their starting spot. For me, it's about training every day. I have a lot of experience in this area. It's about helping them see their potential, he added. These are areas where we can help them. As I said before, they're on one of the best teams in the world; it's not easy to get playing time."
Hansi Flick addressed Dro Fernández's future ahead of Barcelona's trip to Real Sociedad while the club chases a 10th consecutive LaLiga win and a four-point lead over Real Madrid. The 18-year-old has made five senior appearances this season, and reports indicate he may not renew his youth contract, potentially triggering a €6m release clause to leave this month. Several top European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, are reportedly interested. Flick suggested people around young players might be encouraging such moves, emphasized offering players confidence, and said training performances will determine starting places.
