Manchester City have reportedly made a €25 million offer to sign Dro Fernandez, with a decision now in Barcelona’s hands.
According to Fichajes, Manchester City have reportedly submitted a €25 million offer for teenager Dro Fernandez. Barcelona could consider this idea a lucrative deal for a player who has recently broken through in their first team; a decision beckons ahead in the near future.
Dro Fernandez has already broken through into Hansi Flick’s Barcelona first team and has made a modest impact in games. While his impact might be limited, which is expected from a player of his age and considering who he is competing with in this team, there’s already big interest from top suitors.
There have been rumblings of a new contract at Barcelona, although things may not have progressed as expected so far, mostly owing to the problems the club have to solve in the background. Now, the Catalans could have a lucrative financial opportunity to probably sell Dro Fernandez.
Manchester City had been interested, and it appears the Premier League giants have launched a €25 million offer for the 17-year-old Barcelona wonderkid. The idea stems from the club’s longstanding policy of signing some of the top young prospects from around, and in the teenager’s case, he is already in the first team plans.
Manchester City could look at Fernandez’s profile and think about a player who is very close to achieving top maturity in the game. While he may be a bit too young to play regularly under Pep Guardiola, this is also an opportunity to make a big career step, although Barcelona are equally attractive as a club to keep growing with.
Will Barcelona sell Dro Fernandez?
The €25 million offer could be much more in the future should Fernandez become another one of Barcelona’s top talents with time. However, in the present, the money is rather looked at as an opportunity to make a good profit on a player who has only recently broken into the first team.
Hence, the Catalans must decide whether to cash in and improve their finances to an extent that they can make some transfer decisions in January. The alternative is to bet on the player to develop in the mould of Gavi or Pedri to give themselves a massive chance to command a larger fee in the near future.
