Luis Enrique keeps setting PSG's course with a firm hand and ambitious decisions. This time, he has set his sights directly on LaLiga. Specifically, on the heart of one of the most exciting projects in Spanish soccer: Barça.
The Asturian coach believes his line-up is missing a piece with character, youth, and a lot of energy. That's why he has asked the Parisian board to move as soon as possible for a Barça star. He doesn't want the transfer window to progress and let the opportunity slip away.
Luis Enrique, determined to sign a Barça pillar
From Paris, negotiations have already begun discreetly. Barça didn't expect this offensive, but it knows the threat is real. This isn't the first time PSG seeks young talent from La Masia.
Luis Enrique knows the target well; he coached him in the Spanish national team. That's why he insists even more strongly: it's exactly what he needs. For him, it's not just about technique, but about a winning mentality and presence on the field.
PSG makes a 60 million euro offer: Barça has already been informed
The protagonist of this interest is none other than Gavi. The Andalusian midfielder is one of Barça's and Spain's jewels. Despite his young age, he has already earned Europe's respect.
Luis Enrique has requested a 60 million euro offer for his signing. PSG considers this amount reasonable given his qualities. Meanwhile, Barça has no intention of letting him go.
Gavi doesn't play as much, but remains a pillar for Barça
Although he has now lost his starting spot, Gavi hasn't lost value. On the contrary, his months of absence have shown what he brings. The fans and the coaching staff count on him for the long term.
In the locker room, they consider him essential to keep the competitive spirit. In addition, he has inherited responsibilities very early and hasn't disappointed. For many, he's the soul of the group.
Barça sees the offer as a direct threat to its project
The Catalan board doesn't even want to hear proposals for its most promising youngsters. Gavi is protected by a very high release clause. Any attempt to take him away will be rejected.
However, PSG has proved in the past that it doesn't give up easily. In Paris, they trust the personal connection with Luis Enrique to convince the player. From the midfielder's camp, they insist he's focused on returning and succeeding in Barcelona.
Luis Enrique doesn't give up, but Barça also has its message clear
PSG knows the operation won't be easy. Its coach insists on continuing to fight to close the signing. In the transfer market, everything can change in a matter of days.
At Barça, there are no doubts about what Gavi represents. He's the present, but above all, he's the future. If nothing goes wrong, he'll keep being so for many more years.
