PSG’s Strategic Move: Latest Update Aimed at Keeping Luis Enrique from Barcelona’s Grasp

Originally posted on PSG Talk | Last updated 5/8/24

Despite the disappointing 1-0 defeat (2-0 on aggregate) against Borussia Dortmund, which marked the end of their UEFA Champions League journey on Tuesday at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain wants Luis Enrique to stay long-term.

Following PSG’s defeat to the German club, President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi addressed the media. When asked about Enrique’s future as club chief, he brushed off the question, making it clear he didn’t have time for such inquiries.

Le Parisien now reports that Enrique’s contract extension is on the cards for PSG. Before the semifinal, there hadn’t been any discussions, but now both sides are set to sit down and talk about extending his contract, which currently expires in 2025.

Une prolongation de Luis Enrique est dans les tiroirs du PSG !

If the timing of the discussions stays on track, the signing could happen after the Coupe de France final. This information could sway FC Barcelona from reuniting with the Spanish manager.

SPORT recently mentioned that Barcelona are keeping a close eye on Enrique’s future with a mix of curiosity and excitement. There’s optimism that he might not renew his contract with PSG, which could pave the way for a reunion in 2025. Nonetheless, it seems the Ligue 1 isn’t keen on allowing Enrique to leave anytime soon.
