Luis Enrique has finally been able to be announced by Paris Saint-Germain , and in this way he becomes the new coach of the team, replacing Christophe Galtier, who was fired a few hours earlier.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi hopes that the Asturian will be the person who can finally guide the French team to win their first Champions League, something that neither Carlo Ancelotti, Unai Emery, Mauricio Pochettino, nor Thomas Tuchel have been able to do , nor Laurent Blanc.
Although it will not be an easy task, ‘Lucho’ has taken on the challenge with great expectations, and has warned that there will be multiple changes at Parc dels Prínceps.
He wants to be the one who manages the dressing room, and has full power in the planning of additions and exits. And at the moment, he has already demanded five new faces, of which two play for Barça. The first name he has placed on the table is that of Jules Koundé .
The ex-coach of Celta de Vigo, AS Roma and ‘la Roja’ wants to have the 24-year-old defender under his command, and hopes to take advantage of the dissatisfaction he has with Xavi Hernández to always place him as right side Despite having already signed Milan Skriniar, who has landed from Inter Milan to fill the void left by Sergio Ramos, the Spanish coach is asking them to make an effort for the striker. And he also wants to sign Ousmane Dembélé.
He still does not have an agreement with Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany for the renewal of his contract, and Luis Enrique hopes to use this to convince him to come to PSG, in exchange for the 50 million euros of his termination clause.
On the other hand, he has also asked Al-Khelaïfi to sign three more stars, with Marco Asensio being one of his wishes. They agreed on the selection, and he has maximum confidence in his abilities.
This was demonstrated in the World Cup in Qatar, in which he was the undisputed starter. And he can come for free, after his link with Real Madrid ended a week ago.
Lucas Hernández and Manuel Ugarte, the last two players that Luis Enrique asks for
To finish with Luis Enrique’s list of requests, he has demanded the purchase of Lucas Hernández from Bayern Munich, where they consider him expendable, and they are ready to open the doors to him in exchange for around 45 ‘kilos’.
And together with the Spanish-French player , PSG can also take Manuel Ugarte from Sporting de Portugal, to strengthen the core.
