Summary
  • Dro Fernandez joined PSG on four-and-a-half-year contract after rejecting a contract offer from Barcelona

  • The French champions are reported to have paid €8m for the academy graduate

  • Barcelona president Joan Laporta described the departure as “unpleasant situation”

Dro Fernandez has completed his move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain.

European champions PSG have been linked with a move for the 18-year-old throughout the January transfer window.

The midfielder put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half-year deal in Paris on Monday.

Dro made his first-team debut for Barca in September, having come through their famed academy.

However, he rejected a contract offer and PSG have pounced, paying a reported transfer fee of €8m.

Barca president Joan Laporta told Catalan radio: "It’s an unpleasant situation. We had agreed a new situation with Dro for when he turned 18, and surprisingly his agent informed us that he couldn’t fulfil what had been agreed."
