MARCUS RASHFORD’S SECRET: WHY FLICK VALUES THE MAN UTD LOANEE OVER LA MASIA STARS
Dro Fernandez signs for PSG until 2030! Joan Laporta slams the move as Hansi Flick urges La Masia kids to emulate Marcus Rashford.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta didn’t hold back—he called Dro Fernandez’s departure “unpleasant”. All this happened just as Hansi Flick pointed to Marcus Rashford’s drive as exactly what Barcelona’s young players should aim for.
Fernandez, just 18, forced his way out with a transfer request and ended up at Paris Saint-Germain. He apparently triggered his own £5.1 million release clause to make it happen this month.
He joined Barcelona at 14 and made his Champions League debut last October, even setting up a goal when Barca thrashed Olympiacos 6-1. Now he’s signed with PSG through 2030.
Flick, clearly frustrated, tried to keep his cool when asked about the situation before the deal was done. “Sometimes you just have to accept it. They're 18, they can make their own choices, and they’ve got people advising them,” he said.
He started to say more, then cut himself off: “Of course, when I see like... no, no, I don’t want to talk anymore; it’s enough.”
Flick had much kinder words for Rashford, who’s on loan from Manchester United and hoping for a permanent move. “Marcus has been fantastic so far. We need to manage things, but Deco, our sporting director, will handle next season,” Flick said. “We’ve got time. Marcus is top level, and I really value his commitment—he wants to be here.”
He didn’t miss the chance to send a message to the club’s young players: “This is what I want to say to La Masia’s kids. We’re Barça, one of the best clubs in the world. We give you the chance to train and grow with the best. If you want to play here, you need to give everything—100%. These colours, you have to live for them. If you’re not all in, I’m not interested.”
Laporta, still clearly annoyed, spoke again after the deal: “We’ll talk when everything’s finalised. It’s been an unpleasant situation,” he told Catalunya Radio. “We’ll resolve it as planned, but honestly, it was a shock. We’d already agreed on a new deal with Dro when he turned 18, then suddenly his agent said he couldn’t go through with it.”
After the move, Fernandez explained his choice: “I’m very happy and proud to join Paris Saint-Germain. This is a huge moment for my family. PSG is a massive club I’ve followed since I was a kid, where legends have made history. I’m excited and ready to give everything for this shirt.”
JOAN LAPORTA TO CALL BARCELONA PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS ON FEBRUARY 9TH OFFICIALLY
President Laporta is "excited and energised" for the March elections. See his comments on Real Madrid’s controversial win here.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta didn’t hold back after Real Madrid’s recent win over Rayo Vallecano, taking aim at the refereeing and calling out what he sees as double standards. He’s also moving ahead with plans for Barcelona’s next elections, which he says will be called next week.
Real Madrid edged out Rayo 2-1 with a dramatic 100th-minute penalty from Kylian Mbappe. The match dragged on with nine minutes of added time, something that left Rayo fans fuming. To make matters worse for them, Pathe Ciss and Pep Chavarria both got sent off. Ciss later admitted his red card was fair, but frustration still lingered over how the game played out.
Laporta zeroed in on Real Madrid TV, accusing them of hypocrisy. While Madrid had their own penalty shouts turned down, Rayo’s players complained about how easily Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Brahim Diaz hit the turf. Talking to Diario AS, Laporta didn’t mince words.
“I watched the Real Madrid-Rayo game, and honestly, I have no idea where those nine or ten minutes of extra time came from. Some players are getting really good at diving in the box, pretending to get fouled. That should be a yellow card. Rayo Vallecano got the short end of the stick.”
He pointed out how Real Madrid TV usually goes after referees hard, especially when Madrid thinks they’ve been wronged. But after this match? Silence.
“We’re dealing with a club that has a TV channel always claiming the referees are out to get them. Now, when things go their way, what do they have to say? Nothing? Have they even looked at what happened? They need to get their act together.”
Laporta said he isn’t against mistakes happening—sometimes calls even go in Barcelona’s favour—but he wants to see more balance.
“These things happen, but when it keeps going one way, it’s a problem. Hopefully, it gets fixed, because some situations are just too obvious. I’m saying this constructively. Mistakes can help us, too, sometimes.”
Switching gears, Laporta confirmed Barcelona will hold elections in mid-March, and he’s running again. He’ll dissolve the board next Monday so the election process can begin, with a temporary board stepping in.
“We’ll publish the call for elections on February 9th. As the rules say, some board members will need to resign to run, and we’ll take care of that at our meeting on Monday.”
Laporta sounded upbeat about his chances for another term, even with challengers lining up.
“I’m excited and full of energy. It’ll be a model process, with lots of participation, with every candidate putting their ideas forward. That’s how it should be.”
WHAT HANSI FLICK SECRETLY TOLD RONALD ARAUJO ABOUT HIS RETURN TO THE LINEUP
Barcelona hosts Real Oviedo, looking to reclaim first place. Hansi Flick confirms Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo are ready to start.
Barcelona return to La Liga on Sunday afternoon, taking on Real Oviedo at the Spotify Camp Nou. After last weekend’s loss to Real Sociedad, the Catalans are looking for a response.
Head coach Hansi Flick knows what’s at stake. Real Madrid beat Villarreal on Saturday, so only a win gets Barcelona back to the top of the table.
“We’re at home again, and that’s always a plus,” Flick said. “It all comes down to us—how we start, how we play. Lately, we’ve been conceding early, and that has to stop.”
Pau Cubarsi, who sat out the last match for a rest, looks set to return. Flick trusts his young centre-back to deliver.
“He just turned 19. Of course, sometimes he’s not at his absolute best, but his potential is huge. For me, he’s already one of the best centre-backs in Spain.”
Ronald Araujo is back in the squad and could start alongside Cubarsi for the first time in a while. Flick’s keeping his options open but likes what he sees from the Uruguayan defender.
“We have to watch his minutes, but he’s in good shape and could start. We’ll make the call tomorrow.”
Fermin Lopez has caught Flick’s eye lately, and the coach isn’t hiding his admiration.
“Fermin can change a game at any moment. All we want is for him to play his game—calm on the ball, full of energy. When he finds space, he’s a real threat. He creates chances, and he works hard defensively too.”
On the injury front, fans are eager for Gavi’s return, but Flick isn’t rushing anything.
“He’s made a lot of progress, but the key is not skipping steps. We trust our medical staff. He’s got a long career ahead, and there’s no need to rush. If he’s back by February, everyone’s happy, but the main thing is he comes back right. That’s what matters, and that’s what we’re working toward.”
