"The youngster, after all, was one of the revelations of the team's pre-season and Hansi Flick had immense faith in his quality and loyalty. In fact, he was one of the most-used players by the manager in the recently promoted crop of players. His decision to push for a departure citing a lack of minutes, in that sense, seems unbelievable. Yet, Barcelona are on the verge of losing him and will not hinder his move to France."
"He thereafter saw 26 minutes in the 4-0 win over Athletic Club and 17 minutes against Atletico Madrid and was hoping for prominence in the Copa del Rey where the manager rotates his team. Flick, however, rightly took the game against Guadalajara seriously and did not underestimate them, lining up a decently strong team for the game that eventually turned out to be quite rough. Not having minutes in that game, however, affected the teenager."
Dro Fernandez is close to a permanent transfer to PSG after pushing to leave Barcelona because of limited playing time despite early-season prominence under Hansi Flick. He started early matches against Real Sociedad and Olympiacos but later saw his minutes reduced to 26 minutes against Athletic Club and 17 minutes versus Atletico Madrid. Barcelona fielded a strong side against Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey, and lack of minutes in that match prompted Dro to pursue the PSG offer. He did not travel with the squad to Racing Santander and informed Hansi Flick of his decision. The player resisted returning to Barça Atletic for two matches.
