Flick criticises advisers as Dro Fernandez edges closer to PSG move

According to Goal, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has taken a thinly‑veiled swipe at the people advising wantaway youngster Dro Fernandez after the 18‑year‑old midfielder edged closer to leaving Camp Nou, with Paris Saint‑Germain his most likely destination. The report says Fernandez informed Barcelona of his decision to leave during the January window and is set to activate a €6 million termination clause in his contract; other reports claim he has paid off his own release clause.

PSG have reportedly reached a verbal agreement on a long‑term contract until June 2030 and are in the process of formally paying the clause, beating interest from Chelsea and Manchester City. The news left Flick "stunned" and "deeply disappointed" after he had integrated the teenager into the senior squad.

Speaking to Diario AS, Flick said: "I will speak when this has already happened, now is not the time. As a coach, what we do is give confidence to the players. You try to believe in them so that they grow. I also know that there are people around him. I want to wait for this to be a thing of the past.
