Paris Saint-Germain Finalizes Drew Deal
Press reports indicated that the young player Drew, who recently turned 18 and announced weeks ago his desire to leave Barcelona, is close to officially transferring to Paris Saint-Germain in the coming hours.
According to the Spanish newspaper 'AS', the deal's value will exceed six million euros (the value of his contract termination clause), aiming to show improved relations between the two clubs after Barcelona's return to the European Club Association, and to avoid portraying the deal as a 'raid' by Paris Saint-Germain.
The newspaper considers it a significant blow to Barcelona, which regarded Drew as one of its top talents. However, the player believes his future at Barcelona might be limited and that he will not get enough playing time in the current project.
It is believed that the presence of Luis Enrique at Paris Saint-Germain was the decisive factor in his decision to transfer, given his reputation for giving opportunities to young players and developing them.
On the other hand, Drew's departure has upset coach Hans Flick, who had given the player significant trust and involved him in his first matches with the team at the age of 17.
