PSG: Luis Enrique puts pressure on players and managers

PSG should be quite active next winter on the transfer market. Luis Enrique has some ideas in mind and did not hesitate to share them with Luis Campos.

PSG still has two matches to play before ending its 2024 calendar year. It will be against Monaco in Ligue 1 this Wednesday evening then against RC Lens for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France on the weekend. next. Two important meetings which could impact the winter transfer window of the French champions. PSG wants to recruit defenders and attackers, but is waiting for departures to do so. This is good, Milan Skriniar and Randal Kolo Muani are more than ever announced as starters. For Luis Enrique, it will then be the time to replace them. But not only that, because the Spaniard would like all his positions to be doubled.

Luis Enrique has a clear desire for the transfer window

This Tuesday at a press conference, the former FC Barcelona coach took the opportunity to send a fairly clear message to Luis Campos concerning the procedure to follow in the future during the transfer window: “I would like to have two players at each position who are starters, and for there to be real competition. I have that with the three goalkeepers, they are ready to play. With outfield players, sometimes we lose players. (…) For me, the basis for growing as a team is above all this idea that the players do not know if they are going to play or not. That if they relax a little too much, someone else can play in their place. It’s for the benefit of the team”. It remains to be seen whether the profiles that Luis Campos will propose to Luis Enrique will be validated by the Spaniard. Because in the past, the Portuguese has repeatedly come up against the demands of the Parisian coach. The Ademola Lookman case being a good example.

In any case, the managers are warned regarding the transfer window, and the players too because obviously the lack of competition greatly bothers their coach.
