Barcelona teen prodigy Pedro Fernandez ‘Dro’ is on the verge of becoming La Masia’s next breakthrough star.
The 17-year-old offensive midfielder played in the first-team preseason and impressed Hansi Flick and his coaching staff, scoring in his unofficial debut against Vissel Kobe.
Dro has been in the first-team dynamics since the beginning of the season, appearing in the matchday squad for three of the four La Liga games while missing the Valencia encounter due to a knock.
Barcelona working on Dro’s contract renewal
Dro has great hopes within the club, and as a result, Barcelona has already began negotiations to prolong his contract, according to Juli Claramunt of Jijantes FC.
Indeed, Barcelona director Deco met with Dro’s agent, Ivan de la Pena, on Monday to begin talks on a new contract for the La Masia prodigy.
Dro’s current deal with the Catalan giants extends until the summer of 2027.

He will be 18 years old in January 2026, at which point Barcelona can offer him a long-term deal, like they did with Lamine Yamal. This appears to be the plan for homegrown talent.
While the athletic department works on renewing his contract, the Barcelona coaching staff has placed Dro on a specific training regimen to help him grow muscle and improve his strength and physicality.
It is evident that Barça has big ambitions for Dro, and the first measures have been taken to ensure his long-term future with the club.
