After training alone away from the Barcelona main squad, Dro will join PSG immediately, dealing a major blow to Barcelona’s youth setup.The Spanish giants now look to reinforce their youth squad with targets like Patricio Pacifico, Hamza Abdelkarim, and Yusuf Rassul Ndjai.
Who is Dro?
The 18-year-old has made five appearances for Barcelona’s first team, featuring as an attacking midfielder and left winger. After joining La Masia in 2022, the Spanish youth prodigy progressed through the U16 and U19 sides and is often compared to players like Thiago Alcântara and Pedri due to his creative midfield style.
