"As reported by AS, the sale of Dro to Paris Saint-Germain for €8.5 million stands out not just for the fee, but for the diplomacy involved. The price tag is significantly higher than his release clause, an overprice resulting from a newfound reconciliation between the two clubs. Crucially, this transaction allowed the club to lift a €19 million bank guarantee that was provided last summer to ensure the registration of Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji."
"Lifting this guarantee significantly improves Barcelona's Financial Fair Play scenario. The club are convinced they will finally reach the 1:1 rule this summer, which would allow them to operate with total normality in the transfer market. The club may have already received an initial €11 million payment. However, this deal remains contingent on ratification by the summer Assembly and the outcome of the presidential elections on March 15."
Pedro Fernandez 'Dro' left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain seeking more playing time, with the transfer fee reported at €8.5 million. The fee exceeded his release clause due to renewed diplomacy between the clubs. The sale enabled Barcelona to lift a €19 million bank guarantee originally provided to secure registrations of Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji. Lifting the guarantee improves Barcelona's Financial Fair Play position and bolsters confidence in reaching the 1:1 rule this summer, restoring normal transfer operations. The club also relies on a UAE development project—including Dubai branding and Abu Dhabi skyscrapers—whose initial €11 million payment is contingent on Assembly ratification and the March 15 presidential election, while one €7 million guarantee remains pending.
