Europa Press, E-Noticies Official, PSG sets sights on Real Madrid: Luis Enrique offers €70M to take him from Bernabéu
The Spanish coach of PSG is going through difficult times in Paris, and Bernabéu may be his lifeline
PSG is experiencing a strange start to the season after having reached glory last year. The French team won the Champions League by playing brilliant, dominant soccer. However, the physical toll of such a demanding campaign is starting to leave visible marks.
We can't forget that, in addition to the Champions League, Parisian players also competed in the Club World Cup. That tournament ended up putting even more strain on Luis Enrique's footballers' legs. Perhaps for this reason, today PSG's locker room is plagued by major absences.
Top-level names like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Kang-in Lee are in the infirmary. Beraldo, Dembélé, and Doué are also injured, which limits rotations. Given this scenario, the sporting management doesn't rule out turning to the January transfer market.
Luis Enrique finds the ideal solution in Real Madrid
PSG believes that an attacking reinforcement would be the best short-term solution. Luis Enrique wants to keep the competitive level up while the injured players recover. That's why he has set his sights on Real Madrid.
Luis Enrique has put a name on the table: Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian is going through a delicate moment at Bernabéu, where he hasn't managed to establish himself. His role has been alarmingly reduced since the arrival of new reinforcements.
Rodrygo is a player with undeniable quality, but his current situation is far from ideal. He barely gets any minutes and doesn't have Xabi Alonso's full trust. Florentino Pérez knows he can't have such a valuable asset go to waste.
Is Rodrygo going to PSG?
So far, no offer has been attractive enough to consider his departure. However, everything could change with PSG's interest. Luis Enrique has requested a financial effort and the French board is willing to listen.
According to several sources, the Parisian club would be ready to offer €70 million for Rodrygo. That's a hard amount to refuse considering the player's secondary role in Madrid. If finalized, the deal would be one of the biggest moves of the winter transfer window.
Real Madrid, however, isn't sure which path to take. On one hand, the transfer would provide financial relief and open up space in the squad. On the other, selling Rodrygo could be risky if a wave of injuries hits the forward line.
Rodrygo, meanwhile, remains silent about his future. The Brazilian wants to play and feel important, something he doesn't have in Madrid right now. In Paris, on the other hand, he could become a key piece from day one.
The deal isn't closed yet, but the cards are already on the table. Luis Enrique has taken the decisive step and PSG is waiting for a response. January will be a key month to find out if Rodrygo swaps Bernabéu for Parc des Princes.
