Dro Fernandez' PSG interview has apparently revealed the reason why the player left Barcelona
After sealing his winter move from FC Barcelona, Fernández spoke to PSG’s official website about the transfer. The 18-year-old midfielder expressed his excitement at starting a new chapter in Paris and embracing the challenge ahead. He also appeared to make a subtle dig at his former club, hinting that the move to PSG offers him greater belief, opportunity, and a clearer pathway for his development.
“This is an important step,” Fernandez told the website. “I made the decision to continue growing as a player, and I think there’s no better place than here to keep improving…
“That’s exactly why I’m here [at PSG]. I think there’s no better place to grow, because the project with the young players here is incredible. It’s thanks to the coach and everyone who makes it possible. That’s why I’m here.”
What PSG fans can expect from former Barca star Dro Fernandez
In the same interview, the teenager also outlined his playing style, giving PSG fans an insight into what they can expect from him on the pitch as he begins his journey with the club.
“I am a creative player who likes to drive the game by making good decisions and enjoying myself,” Fernandez added.
“I am a calm man, down-to-earth, very family-oriented, who enjoys being with my loved ones. I obviously love spending time with my family and being with them. I am calm and relaxed. I also enjoy being alone, as well as being with the people I care about, but I am a calm man.”
Our opinion on Dro Fernandez choosing PSG over Barcelona
Barcelona are one of the best teams in world football when it comes to developing young world footballers into world-class. One doesn't need to look no further than Lionel Messi as the biggest example of that, and the Spanish are repeating that same history right now as well with Lamine Yamal. Thus, it is undoubtedly a surprising that Dro decide to leave the club.
However, we must not forget that PSG are the champions of European, and they play an exciting style of football under Luis Enrique, who himself previously managed Barca and is heavily influenced by the club's style. Above all of these, we believe PSG's superior financial offer and their excellent role in the development of superstar youngsters such as Désiré Doué , Senny Mayulu, and Ibrahim Mbaye must've helped him make an easy final decision on his future.
