\u2018The disappointment stems from\u2026\u2019 \u2013 Deco<\/h2>\n
Ahead of Barcelona\u2019s clash with Copenhagen on Wednesday night, Deco explained how Dro\u2019s exit had come about, and why the club were not particularly happy about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cDro was a boy who turned 16 in January 2024, and in March he signed his first professional contract. During this period, he came to train with us two or three times. We don\u2019t care who the agent is, but rather the player\u2019s profile. At the beginning of last season, he came to train with the first team, Flick liked him, and even though there were several players in that position, the coach took a liking to him. In Dro\u2019s case, he had a \u20ac6m release clause, like most players who sign their first contract, and what I could do was explain to him the idea we had for him and the context in which he could develop here.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe coach helped, had him in training, and took him along for preseason. The disappointment stemmed partly from that. With all due respect to PSG, which is a spectacular club and where I have friends, like Luis Campos,\u201d Deco told TNT Sports Brasil, as quoted by MD<\/a>.<\/p>\n Deco went on to explain that he would not have done the same in his shoes, and that the way it was handled was not correct.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I were young and at Barcelona, \u200b\u200bI wouldn\u2019t change, but everyone chooses their own path. We all know there are influences; we don\u2019t know if it\u2019s his parents\u2019 doing, but it\u2019s his decision, not a financial one. We reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain because of our good relationship, but Paris Saint-Germain has no influence on this decision.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 barcacentre (@barcacentre) January 29, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cI hope he\u2019s happy and develops as a player, although he shouldn\u2019t hurry, be it here or at Paris Saint-Germain, it would be detrimental. Sometimes the form and the people involved aren\u2019t the right ones.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no need to make a drama out of it, he was part of the first team dynamic, like other players, he made that decision and that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n The reasons given for Dro deciding to make the move were that he felt that he had no chance of usurping Fermin Lopez and Dani Olmo in the first team. In addition, PSG manager Luis Enrique traveled to Barcelona to convince him to make the move, a significant gesture. That said, former teammate Gavi was reportedly disappointed with the staff for not giving Dro more opportunities<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Deco delivers parting shot at ex-Barcelona youngster Dro Fernandez after PSG move<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Barcelona Director of Football Deco has criticised Dro Fernandez for his exit from the club, after he completed a move to Paris Saint-Germain…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4742"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4742"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4742\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4746,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4742\/revisions\/4746"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Dro](\"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dro.jpg\")

Yesterday Marc Bernal played his most demanding minutes since he returned from the injury, and he showed a good level.
