Close to a definitive agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enrique should arrive with his ideas and his assertive character. The Spanish coach is not one to let his choices be dictated. A parameter that could totally change Neymar’s situation in the capital.
After the failure of negotiations with Julian Nagelsmann, Paris Saint-Germain was quick to react. The resident of the Parc des Princes had kept alternatives under the elbow. And among them, his new priority Luis Enrique is announced close to a final agreement. The Spaniard could land in the coming days and quickly embark on the construction of the Parisian workforce. Alongside football advisor Luis Campos, the former FC Barcelona coach will have to make important decisions, or even reconsider choices that we thought were made.

Indeed, the newspaper L’Equipe recalls the profile of Luis Enrique, above all known for his philosophy of offensive play, but also for his assertive character. The one who led the Spanish selection until the end of the 2022 World Cup is not the type to let his choices be dictated. For the sports daily, it is therefore not forbidden to think that the technician will put his nose in the Neymar file. The two men had rubbed shoulders at Barça (2014-2017) in one, if not the best period of the Brazilian’s career.
Neymar and Luis Enrique know each other well
Both have surely kept excellent memories of their common passage in Catalonia, starting with the Champions League won in 2015. Suffice to say that Luis Enrique could quickly close the door at the start of the attacking midfielder. His exit, however, seemed decided after a generally disappointing new season. The international auriverde did not recover the favors of its leaders and suffered the anger of the supporters who came to demonstrate in front of his home. An episode that the main interested party experienced badly. If Luis Enrique tried to keep the number 10, reconciliation would be difficult.
