The rapport between the football clubs FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain has been notably strained for years. This discord, originating in the summer of 2017, was fundamentally triggered by the French club’s activation of the release clause in Neymar‘s contract, a monumental transfer that saw the Brazilian superstar depart Catalonia for Paris.
Subsequent years have only exacerbated the tension, with PSG persistently targeting and acquiring key talents from the Catalan squad, a strategy that has deepened the rift between the two European giants. The latest chapter in this ongoing saga involves the promising young talent, Drew, whose recent move has ignited fresh controversy.
A New Spark in an Old Rivalry
Merely days ago, Paris Saint-Germain secured the signing of the youngster from Barcelona’s ranks. According to widespread media reports, it was Luis Enrique, the manager of PSG, who played a pivotal role in this acquisition. By persuading the young prospect of the viability and ambition of his project in Paris, Enrique convinced the player to reject a continued future at Camp Nou.
This transfer has provoked considerable anger within the Barcelona hierarchy. The club’s manager, Hans Flick, has openly expressed his frustration and disappointment over the decision. Flick, who had been preparing to integrate and rely on the player in the coming period, found his plans abruptly disrupted by this cross-border move.
