Barcelona Plot Revenge Transfer Signing Against PSG

For the most part, PSG have lured talent away from Barcelona over the years, and it hasn’t been the other way around. From Neymar Jr. to Ousmane Dembélé, the Parisians have been successful in landing multiple players from the Spanish club.

Moreover, the latest name to come is Dro Fernandez, who this past winter transfer window decided it was best to continue his career in the French capital over Barcelona.

“This is an important step,” Fernandez told the website (h/t Paris Fans). “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.”

Nonetheless, could the La Liga team be plotting a move for a player in PSG’s youth system as a possible revenge signing?

Moreover, the defender is on a youth contract until June 2026, providing some flexibility. Barcelona sees this contractual situation as a chance to negotiate from a favorable position.

Additionally, the club also believes the overall context works in their favor. They offer a project that gives young players real opportunities if they meet expectations. The opportunity to develop in an environment that prioritizes technical growth is a major factor for the player’s representatives.
