At Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enrique is simply untouchable. Even before the Spanish technician took the capital club to the roof of Europe, President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi continued to declare his love for him in the media, calling him the best coach in the world. Within the club, Enrique has decision-making power over recruits and some even come for him.

Luis Enrique works in concert with Luis Campos since his appointment as coach of the PSG on July 5, 2023. On the transfer market, the two men do not move forward without each other. Moreover, as the press has agreed to put forward in recent months, Enrique would have refused several proposals from the sports advisor of the PSG as an attacker. This would have been particularly the case with Victor Osimhen to name only him.

“Luis Enrique proved that he was capable of trusting kids”

However, the operation Dro Fernandez liked Luis Enrique. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder FC Barcelona turned his back on his training club. THE PSG and the Barçawhile the Spaniard’s release clause was set at €6M, agreed on the amount of €8M for the kid from The Masia. A great operation for Paris Saint-Germain according to Jean Resseguiéthis Jano Resseguiémade only possible thanks to the coach of the PSG . “It’s an investment, that’s clear since it’s a nugget. This is someone they will most certainly sell for a lot of money one day. Afterwards, if it hadn’t been for Luis Enrique, the kid wouldn’t have come to Paris Saint-Germain. Luis Enrique proved that he was capable of trusting kids, we think of (Senny) Mayulu, (Ibrahim) Mbaye and then very recently (Quentin) Ndjantou.

According to Resseguiéthe German coach should have used him more if he really counted on him, a management fault which cost the team dearly. Barça. “The link with the agent obviously helps (…) It’s a good idea, then we’ll have to see how he’s going to be integrated because he hasn’t really been integrated at Barcelona. I don’t mind Hansi Flick’s tears, but he had the opportunity to play him, he didn’t do it, making him believe that it was during next season that he was going to give him more playing time. It’s very poorly managed on the part of Barcelona.
