No be small matter o! FC Barcelona don confirm say dem don lose one of di top talents wey dem get for La Masia, Pedro Fernández, wey dem dey call Dro. E don officially waka go Paris Saint-Germain as dem don agree on transfer.
Di club announce am through social media, wish am well for di future, both on and off di pitch. E don spend three and a half seasons as blaugrana, after dem sign am for summer of 2022 from Valmiñor youth academy. Dis season, e don play five times for di first team and three for Barça Atletic.
Di shock about dis move no be small, especially as di coach Hansi Flick don develop di boy like wetin e be CEO for growth o. But as dem talk, wetin good now dey don turn sour. Flick no hide im disappointment when e hear say Dro wan leave, after all di time wey e don invest in di boy.
Luis Enrique, wey sabi as player and coach for Barcelona, don also put im eyes for Dro, wey e dey reason as di next big move for PSG. Di boy just turn 18 dis January and na wetin make di issue even more sensitive, because plenty pipo don dey ask how come Dro no fit stay for Barca after e don make im mark.
As e dey now, Barcelona fit no do much as di boy release clause na just €6 million (around £5.2 million), and PSG don offer even more as market gesture. Di big question wey dey bug our minds be, wetin FIFA and football governance fit do make sure say young players no dey just waka go anywhere wey dem like like this?
Dro no just dey na di only talent wey dey exit Barcelona lately, as many scouts don dey eye di academy na im be di new normal for football. Di boy self don show early signs of greatness, with technical skills wey dey remind pipo of legends like Iniesta and even Kaká.
Fans wey dey follow Barcelona go definitely miss di boy, wey get plenty potential, but wetin e go do for PSG under Enrique fit just be di fresh start wey e need. As dem say, sometimes change no be bad, especially for young players wey wan shine.
