It's his main goal, Luis Enrique wants him, from Barça to PSG, €100M signing

Luis Enrique has asked PSG to sign Barça's star in a deal that could reach 100 million

PSG is experiencing a moment of contrasts after winning the latest edition of the Champions League with brilliant soccer. Luis Enrique has managed to shape a team in his own image, with stars who work for the benefit of the group and don't focus on their individual performance. However, the current season hasn't started with the desired solidity by the fans and the board.

The defeat against Chelsea in the Club World Cup final was an unexpected blow. To this was added the unfair victory against Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup, which left doubts around PSG. In addition, the multiple injuries Luis Enrique has had to face at the start of the season show the fragility of the Parisian squad.

Luis Enrique thinks of Barça to strengthen PSG

Despite these obstacles, PSG remains a dream team capable of fighting for every possible title. However, Luis Enrique believes it's necessary to strengthen some positions to keep the competitive level. That's why he has set his sights on a Barça player as his main target for next summer.

The chosen one is Jules Koundé, a defender who has made a qualitative leap at FC Barcelona. The Frenchman was already on PSG's radar when he played for Sevilla, but now his value is much higher. Luis Enrique thinks his profile fits perfectly with the style he wants to establish in Paris.

Jules Koundé, a 100 million signing

According to TransferFeed, PSG is willing to put €100 million ($100 million) on the table to sign Jules Koundé. Barça's "23" has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the world, standing out for his versatility and defensive ability. His performance in the Catalan city has raised his market value, making him one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe.

Luis Enrique trusts that such a high offer could convince Barça. However, at the Catalan club, they are clear that they won't sell Jules Koundé. The defender recently renewed his contract until 2030, showing absolute commitment to the Catalan project.

PSG hasn't lost hope of closing a high-impact signing to strengthen their defense for the future. Luis Enrique sees Jules Koundé as the ideal signing to give the team a more reliable defense. For the Asturian coach, he is a strategic piece to keep winning titles, but Barça remains firm: Koundé is not for sale.
