From Barca to PSG: Drew Fernandez Nears Medical Ahead of Bold Paris Move

Drew Fernandez on the cusp of PSG medical ahead of transfer

The deal has moved into its final meters as Drew Fernandez, a Barcelona player, nears a formal move to Paris Saint-Germain in the current winter window.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano wrote on X that Drew is undergoing a medical in Paris today, paving the way for an eight-million-euro transfer from Barcelona.

PSG is reportedly choosing not to trigger the six-million-euro release clause in his Barcelona contract to maintain good relations between the two clubs.

Earlier reports indicated that Nasser Al-Khelaifi, PSG’s president, personally contacted Joan Laporta, the Barcelona president, to negotiate the deal.

Since the Clasico, Fernandez has rarely featured for Barcelona beyond brief appearances against Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid. He hoped to rebound in the Cup, but December brought a setback when coach Hans Flick treated the Guadalajara match with full seriousness and gave the youngster no minutes in a game Barcelona barely edged out late.

That moment reportedly acted as the tipping point, nudging Drew toward listening to PSG’s offer, the club that had been pursuing him for months.

Final paperwork and medicals are expected soon, and a formal announcement could follow swiftly. And yes, if you blink, you might miss another transfer rumor—this time with less drama and more paperwork than a tax return.

Punchline 1: If he passes the medical, PSG will finally have a player who arrives early, stays late, and still does a warm-up without breaking a sweat. Punchline 2: Barcelona thought they were selling him, but it seems he’s negotiating the exit with a calculator and a surprised look—classic January realism in football contracts.
