From Barca to Paris: PSG Seal Move for Rising Star Drew Fernandez
Drew Fernandez completes his move to PSG from Barcelona.

PSG clinches deal for Barcelona youngster

Paris Saint-Germain has reached an agreement with Barcelona to sign the young Drew Fernandez in the current winter window.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano wrote on X that Drew will move to Paris Saint-Germain; the deal has been confirmed.

Romano added that everything was settled after positive talks between PSG and Barcelona about paying slightly more than the 6 million euro clause.

The deal between PSG and the player was effectively sealed last week, and the youngster is ready to join the Paris club.

Fabrice Hawkins, a well known transfer journalist, said on X that PSG had not activated the clause.

Reports also noted that Nasser Al-Khelaifi personally spoke to Barcelona president Joan Laporta to push the negotiations forward.

The report also noted the broader strategic importance for PSG keeping good relations with Barcelona could influence future negotiations and collaboration between the two giants.

As for the player, he is said to be prepared for life in Paris, while Barca fans will hope the exit does not disrupt their rebuilding plans.

Punchline 1: If this transfer were a stand up bit, six million euros is the mood, not the price tag.

Punchline 2: If he shines in Paris, Barca fans will say they sold him for the price of a fancy croissant and a rumor.
