For the past year, Luis Enrique has managed to deeply reshape the face of Paris Saint-Germain. Exit the oversized egos, the untouchable statutes, and make way for a united, young, disciplined collective. A group which, by dint of rigor and complementarity, is about to compete in a Champions League final, next Saturday in Munich, against Inter. However, while this formula seems to have finally found his balance, the Spanish technician would consider a choice of counts: to bring in a world class player … but renowned for his well -tempered character.

It is indeed Bruno Fernandes. The captain of Manchester United would be in the sights of PSG, according to the English press, in particular because of the financial difficulties of the English club. Luis Enrique, seduced by the profile of the Portuguese – a technical and emotional leader – would be ready to try it. A surprising decision so she seems to be detonating with the logic pursued so far. Fernandes, with his boiling temperament and his need for centrality, could disrupt the hierarchy and internal balances. The Neymar-Messi example remains in all memories.

Besides PSG, Bayern Munich also follows the player's situation. But to date, Bruno Fernandes does not push for a departure. He was clear: “I am here as long as the club does not tell me it's time to leave. »» Despite a minor -boring offer from Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese attacking midfielder favors stability at Old Trafford … unless a concrete proposal for a European giant turns everything.

If Paris wants to attach its services, it will not only be necessary to take out the checkbook, but also to manage the human consequences of such a transfer. Between the desire to strengthen the team with an experienced player and the need to preserve a united wardrobe, Luis Enrique will have to decide with accuracy.

With or without Fernandes, PSG is about to turn a European page. But the possible arrival of the Mancunian captain would ask a substantive question: does the Parisian club really want to return to a stars policy, after having finally found the common thread of a winning collective?
