PSG desperate to tie key figure to a new contract
Paris Saint Germain are reportedly eager to tie head coach Luis Enrique to a new contract with the ownership impressed with the Spaniard’s handling of affairs at the club.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says that the club are working to extend the stay of the Spanish mentor with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.
Enrique joined PSG in July 2023 and guided them to a French league and cup double last term with his stint in Paris just his second outside of Spain.
“Paris Saint-Germain have new contract proposal ready for Luis Enrique as key part of the project,” Romano wrote on X.
“[The] Spanish manager was fully involved in transfer plan this summer and he’s highly rated at the club.
“Current deal expires in June 2025, PSG are working to extend it.
Enrique cut his teeth as a manager at Barca Atletic before taking the reins at AS Roma in 2011 but spent less than a year in the role.
His next job was at Celta Vigo but he would cut that project short when Barcelona came calling in 2014. Enrique enjoyed some successes at Barcelona including a Champions League and Club World Cup win.
He spent two spells as the Spain manager after leaving his role at Barcelona and made a solid start to his tenure at PSG.
Enrique has revealed that he has set the target of winning as much silverware as possible with the French giants.
“It’s great to be back with the players, to get back to work, and to get the season underway,” Enrique told club media.
“We’re very motivated and looking forward to the first game of the season. It’s going to be an exciting season, we don’t have any pressure, but we want to approach it with a lot of ambition, desire and the desire to win every title possible!”
