Luis Enrique, the coach of Paris Saint-Germain since the summer of 2023, arrived in the French capital with a two-year contract, which he later extended until 2027. The time is approaching for him to make a decision about his future. The Spanish newspaper Sport claims that the Spaniard would like to return to FC Barcelona, possibly as early as next summer.
“The Asturian is well aware of the current situation at Barça and knows that the club is entering an election year, a circumstance that could help him realize his dream of one day returning to the Barça bench. Luis Enrique has expressed to those close to him on several occasions that he would be delighted to return to the Camp Nou.
Although he is very comfortable at PSG, with whom he has a contract until 2027, covering this season and another, his name could be one of the key talking points during the end of the season. The Asturian would like to live in Barcelona again, and although he has even stated publicly that he ‘normally respects his contracts,’ some are already considering trying to lure the coach to the club. His popularity among the Blaugrana fans remains enormous.”
As we know, the Spanish media loves rumors, and PSG hadn’t been involved in many lately. Here, there was clearly a desire to stir things up, especially with PSG visiting Barcelona on October 1st for the second matchday of the Champions League. Why not with coach Luis Enrique, who has a rich history as both a player and a coach at Barcelona?
However, this claim should be taken with a grain of salt, as it easily disregards Luis Enrique’s current contract and his commitment to the club. There’s also the fact that current coach Hansi Flick is performing well, and there’s no apparent reason for his departure, something the Spanish newspaper doesn’t mention. What we’re seeing here is that there’s some concern at Barcelona, given that PSG is catching up, so they’re spreading a rumor to “destabilize” Paris. That’s quite amusing.
