Barcelona leader Laporta disappointed over young Dro Fernandezs transfer to PSG

Barcelona president Joan Laporta described the choice by young prospect Dro Fernandez to depart for Paris Saint Germain, even after committing to a fresh contract with the Spanish outfit, as quite distressing.

The 18 year old central midfielder Dro stands ready to transfer to the Ligue 1 powerhouse PSG, according to reports in Spanish outlets indicating that the French side plans to offer Barcelona a sum exceeding his 6 million euro about 7 million dollar buyout provision out of courtesy.

We can discuss it once everything is settled, this has created an awkward circumstance Laporta stated to Catalunya Radio on Sunday evening.

It caught us off guard since we had settled on another arrangement for his 18th birthday the Barcelona head added.

Oddly enough his agent informed us that he was unable to proceed with our prior understanding.

Laporta suggested that Barcelona could adjust the terms as they were outlined possibly meaning they would secure as much as 8.5 million euros from PSG for Dro instead of sticking to the release fee amount.

Hailing from Galicias northwestern region of Spain Dro entered Barcelonas renowned La Masia academy in 2022 and has featured in eight matches for the senior team since then.

Back in January Barcelona manager Hansi Flick voiced his frustration regarding Dro imminent exit.

To the emerging talents from La Masia my message is simple we represent Barcelona one of the top clubs globally the German tactician remarked having given Dro his first team bow in September 2025.

We offer them chances to work alongside us to develop daily amid the elite athletes worldwide providing them with openings backing faith and assurance.

If aiming to represent Barcelona then commit fully with total dedication This applies to all currently here or those joining later it demands complete effort.

Embrace these clubs colours wholeheartedly thats the commitment I seek from everyone and nothing less.
