Between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona, it’s a long story. On the transfer window, the two teams were in conflict over several issues. The most notable is certainly the transfer of Neymar Jr in 2017 for €222 million. A departure which hurt the residents of Camp Nou. The same can be said regarding the transfer of Dro Fernandez during the last winter transfer window. But not for the same reasons. Unlike Ney, who had proven himself within the first team and who was a big star, Dro still has everything to prove. However, he was considered a great talent from La Masia and a player who could have a chance within the professional squad led by Hansi Flick. But the 18-year-old finally decided to join PSG.
A difficult pill to digest for the Culés and Joan Laporta, who did not hesitate to speak publicly of betrayal on the part of the Fernandez clan. A few months later, the Catalans decided to fight back and recruit from Paris Saint-Germain. This is what is announced this Thursday The Parisian. The French daily reveals that the Blaugranas wish to enlist the young and promising David Boly. A 17-year-old element that we have already seen at work this season with Luis Enrique’s group. Last October, the right back born in 2009 took part in training for the professional group. A few weeks later, in November, he was summoned by the Asturian to face OL in Ligue 1. A choice explained by the Asturian coach.
Barça wants to dislodge Boly from PSG
“He will be in the group that we are going to call up for Lyon but we have to be careful with young players. “He’s been training well over the last two weeks, and it’s time to start giving them some playing time… without rushing.” He also admitted to being seduced by his potential and his state of mind. On the bench against Lyon, he did not come into play. Same during the matches against HAC, Monaco and Rennes. On the other hand, Luis Enrique gave him some playing time in December against Fontenay in the Coupe de France. He played 29 minutes before being injured. Since then, he has not reappeared with the Ile-de-France group. But PSG was able to count on him with the youth categories, particularly in the Youth League.
Author of 45 appearances this season in all categories and competitions (1 assist), he also caught the eye of several scouts who came to observe the Parisian youth teams. Among them, there is FC Barcelona, which is very interested in the idea of getting their hands on one of the most promising right-backs in the Old Continent. But the Culés, who have been marking him for several months, will have to be convincing to dislodge him from Paris, where he is under an aspiring contract until June 2027. Paris has a hand in this matter. If Barça wants Boly, they will have to sit down at the negotiating table and convince PSG, who will not give away their young talent. Especially since he is playing a highly sought-after position.
