Manchester United, Liverpool rival Chelsea in Dro Fernandez chase
Barcelona teenager Dro Fernandez continues to add admirers from the Premier League, with Manchester United and Liverpool set to rival Chelsea.
According to Fichajes, Dro Fernandez’s suitors from the Premier League are on the rise, as Manchester United and Liverpool have now entered the chase. Chelsea were already seen as an interested party early on, with the teenager’s decision on his future likely to prove crucial.
Premier League sides are in a race to bring in some of the best young talents from around. The idea is to keep building the first team with established stars, but also to add to the youth setup with some notable talents from different academies.
Barcelona’s La Masia is a known entity in that regard, as they have produced countless talents out of their youth setup. While their first team is stacked with players developed within their academy, there are those waiting in line to get their chance to make a breakthrough in the senior side.
One of those is Dro Fernandez, the 17-year-old wonderkid who has turned heads with his impressive displays for the youth sides. While he is yet to make a breakthrough into the first team, there are already big sides from the Premier League eager to sign him. Chelsea and Manchester City were linked with a move, which may be a big deal for the teenager.
However, joining Chelsea are Liverpool and Manchester United, who are now eager to explore a move for the young rising star. Those two giants, coupled with Chelsea, are on the lookout for talents that will enhance their future sides, with the trio also linked with Ajax midfield talent Jorthy Mokio recently.
Dro Fernandez’s decision is key to the future
Dro Fernandez might be at an age where the big interest from Premier League sides might overwhelm the player. However, the 17-year-old Barcelona wonderkid is also keeping his feet on the ground as his camp are not looking to take a rash decision on the future.
Coming through the La Masia system, Dro Fernandez might have a dream to play his first-team football for Barcelona. Currently, the signs are there for him to make his breakthrough soon, but he could also listen to offers from suitors. As for Barcelona, they could also see the wisdom in developing the player within their system and probably think of a sale later in the future, when there is a potential for his value to increase.
