BARCELONA – The departure of Dro Fernández to Paris Saint-Germain has left a bitter taste at the Camp Nou. In a candid interview with TNT Sports, Barcelona’s Sporting Director Deco did not hold back, criticizing the young striker’s haste to leave the club that gave him his professional debut.
“If Dro continues to rush things throughout his career, it will be very detrimental to him in the future,” Deco warned. The director clarified that while PSG made the offer, the push for the transfer came entirely from the player and his inner circle. “PSG did not influence this; it was the player himself. Sometimes, the behavior of those around a young talent is not beneficial.”
Hansi Flick’s “Deep Disappointment”
The move has reportedly caused a rift between the player and Hansi Flick. The German coach was instrumental in Dro’s development, giving him a chance in the first team during the pre-season and consistently integrating him into the squad’s dynamics.
According to Sport, Flick is “angry and disappointed” by what he perceives as a lack of gratitude. Deco echoed this sentiment but downplayed the impact on the pitch: “His departure is not a tragedy. He is just another player who was part of the first-team dynamic. Life goes on.”
A Champions League Reunion?
Dro Fernández, meanwhile, seems focused on his new chapter in France. “This is a very important step. I believe there is no better place than PSG to continue growing,” the striker stated during his presentation in Paris.
However, a reunion could be just around the corner. With Barcelona qualified directly for the Champions League Round of 16 and PSG fighting through the playoffs, the two giants could be drawn against each other as early as tomorrow. A matchup that would undoubtedly put Dro Fernández under the most intense spotlight of his short career.
