Last summer Marc Bernal and Marc Casado Breakout stars for Barcelona, and in 2025 DRO DRO was able to follow their footsteps. The 17-year-old impressed Hansi film in the training for the season, and during the friendly Sunday against Vissel Kobe he scored what his first performance was for the senior team.
DRO, whose full name is Pedro Fernández Sarmiento, is tipped for big things, and he could play a role in the first team for the coming season – although he would be far in the pecking order, given the power that the power has in depth that Barcelona has in attacking positions.
Nevertheless, Barcelona has high expectations of DRO – and they are not the only one. According to sport, the Filipino football federation wants to convince the 17-year-old to represent them at an international level.
DRO is eligible for the Philippines through his mother, although their desire to convince is more in hope than expected. The belief is that he wants to play for Spain, where he was born and where his father comes from.
Strangely enough, it is not the first time that an emerging Barcelona star has been the subject of an international wedding battle. In 2023, Morocco insisted on Lamine Yamal to represent them, but eventually he joined Spain. And there is every chance that DRO will follow in the footsteps on the 18-year-old.
Luis de la Fuente has shown in the past that he is watching talented teenagers in Barcelona, as was the case with Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi. If Dro succeeds in retaining a regular place in Flick's team, he could claim that he was called by La Roja.
It is still to be seen how the situation is going on with DROS, although it is expected that he will commit to Spain in the coming months.
