  • Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will reward all players, including Filipino-Spanish talent Dro Fernandez, with 1 million euros each following their Champions League victory.

Paris Saint-Germain is set to award a significant bonus of 1 million euros to every player on the squad, a policy that includes rising star Dro Fernandez, following their Champions League triumph. This generous reward underscores the club's commitment to recognizing the contributions of all team members.

According to the reputable French sports newspaper L'Equipe, PSG's decision to offer an equal bonus to every player, regardless of their on-field status, aims to promote a culture of fairness and collective aspiration. This approach, while uncommon in top-tier football where player importance often dictates bonuses, reflects PSG's desire to build team cohesion from training sessions to match days.

PSG will reward 1 million euros to each player on the team, including the Filipino star Dro Fernandez.

Dro Fernandez, an 18-year-old dual citizen of Spain and the Philippines, is among those set to receive the substantial bonus. Despite being a reserve player, Fernandez is considered a vital part of the team's training environment. He joined PSG in January from Barcelona's academy, a move that reportedly angered then-Barca coach Hansi Flick. Fernandez has made 13 appearances for PSG this season, including in the Champions League, demonstrating his growing role within the squad.

Fernandez, whose mother is Filipino and father is Spanish, is eligible to represent the Philippines national team. His inclusion in the celebrations and the equal bonus distribution highlights PSG's strategy of valuing every player's contribution to the team's overall success.

This 'equal' bonus policy is not often applied in top-level football, as everyone knows that in a collective, there are significant differences in the importance of each player. But with PSG, they want to spread a culture of 'fairness, creating a common desire for the collective, from the training ground to the pitch'.
