According to Andres Onrubia, a journalist from the newspaper AS, the French club has stepped up negotiations for the Blaugrana gem.

18-year-old talent Dro Fernandez may have already chosen his next destination. As widely reported, the midfielder feels that staying at Barcelona could hinder his development due to a lack of playing time, and now that he has turned 18, he plans to have his six-million-euro release clause activated to leave the club.

However, just when it seemed the Premier League would be the next step for the young Galician talent, Paris Saint-Germain have entered the race and managed to change the player's focus, according to the aforementioned newspaper.

In fact, the fact that Luis Enrique, who has a well-known past at Barca, is now the coach of the Parisian side has been decisive, as the youngster likes the idea of playing under him and enjoying the style of football the Asturian manager promotes.

Of course, the challenge of joining the best club in Europe right now won't be easy for Dro, especially after featuring in only five matches this season, but he believes he has a better chance of becoming a starter in Paris than in Barcelona.
