Barcelona Prospect Dro Fernandez Set to Trigger €6 Million Exit Clause, With PSG Reported Front-Runner

After telling Hansi Flick he will leave, the 18-year-old has been removed from first-team training as Barcelona reflect on a missed contract renewal.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Dro plans to depart this month by paying his €6 million clause, a move enabled once he turned 18 on January 12.
  • Transfer journalists report Paris Saint‑Germain are leading the race and close to a verbal agreement, though no deal has been officially completed.
  • Manchester City, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund are also in contention, with offers understood to be on the table for the La Masia midfielder.
  • Flick publicly voiced disappointment and urged academy players to fully commit to the club, and he has sidelined Dro from first-team sessions to avoid injury risks.
  • Barcelona had aimed to extend Dro’s contract after his birthday but Deco did not finalize terms, as the player seeks regular minutes after five senior appearances and one assist this season.
