‘Luis Enrique loves PSG’ - Former FC Barcelona coach poised for contract extension
By Manuel Meza
Paris Saint-Germain is nearing the end of Luis Enrique’s initial two-year contract, with talks of a potential extension heating up. The former FC Barcelona coach, who joined PSG last summer, is currently in his final year under the current deal. Recent developments suggest his time in Paris may not end soon.
According to recent updates from Fabrizio Romano, PSG are preparing a new offer to extend Luis Enrique’s stay. Enrique has shown a willingness to remain, praising his adaptation to the project and his satisfaction with the team:
"I am part of a project here that fits me perfectly. I have adapted well and am keen to continue, but it’s clear many factors are involved. We must focus on the present and see how things unfold."
Abdellah Boulma, speaking on France Bleu (h/t Le10Sport), provided further insight into the situation. He noted that PSG is taking a thoughtful and measured approach to Enrique’s potential contract extension:
"It seems PSG is being deliberate and strategic about Luis Enrique’s situation, which is a welcome change. Unlike previous instances where decisions were made hastily, this time they are taking their time."
PSG's Luis Enrique poised for long-term contract extension
Boulma added that Enrique is very fond of PSG, enjoys working with the team, and appreciates the collaborative environment with club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting director Luis Campos. The journalist further noted that Enrique has settled in well at PSG, and the coach’s commitment to the club is evident:
"Luis Enrique loves PSG and his new role, and is discussing a long-term contract. While nothing has been signed yet, it would be wise to finalise this before December."
Beyond the UEFA Champions League elimination by Borussia Dortmund last season, Luis Enrique led PSG to win the Coupe de France again after a two-year absence. Additionally, reaching the top four in Europe had also eluded the French side for two years. The style of play, transfer policies, and sporting results are all aligned, and Luis Enrique’s PSG continues to shine.
