Eighteen-year-old Dro Fernández, a former homegrown talent from FC Barcelona, made a high-profile move to Paris Saint-Germain in January 2026. The transfer, which reportedly angered Barça president Joan Laporta, was seen by many as a betrayal. Born in January 2008, making him even younger than Lamine Yamal, Dro (whose real name is Pedro Fernández) was a promising Galician midfielder from Barça B. He was once considered a key part of Barcelona’s future, even making a few appearances for the senior squad during the 2025/26 season. Now under the guidance of Luis Enrique, his transfer to PSG was reportedly valued at €8.2 million.
Dro marked his historic debut goal for PSG during their dominant 4-0 victory over Nice in Ligue 1. Coming on as a substitute, Dro needed just fifteen minutes to find the back of the net, thanks to an assist from Dembélé. This goal not only opened his account for the Parisian giants but also set a new club record: he became the youngest non-academy player to score for Paris Saint-Germain.
At 18 years and 68 days old, Dro surpassed Kylian Mbappé’s age when the French superstar scored his first goal for PSG after joining from Monaco. Furthermore, Dro’s memorable strike was PSG’s 100th goal across all competitions this season, a significant milestone that helped solidify the team’s position at the top of Ligue 1.
