Luis Enrique, the coach of Paris SG, sought to thank his managers for the efforts they made during the transfer window.
The summer transfer window is now over. When taking stock, the obvious fact is that PSG were among the most active clubs on the market, with a total of 350 million euros spent on 12 different recruits. Luis Enrique, his coach, could not have asked for better. And that’s what he said, hollow, this Saturday at a press conference.
Luis Enrique in heaven after a successful transfer window
On the eve of the opposition against Lyon, the Spanish coach took his hat off to the management for the efforts made during the previous 3 months. “It is clear that I am satisfied. It’s an exceptional transfer window, he began by confiding. The president and the sports management with Luis Campos have been wonderful. It couldn’t be a better transfer window. All my requests were met. Each position is doubled, now it is up to the players and the staff to return the confidence granted by the club.
Upon his arrival at the club, the Asturian technician also insisted on the need to reduce the workforce. And on that side, he is also satisfied. “The success of this transfer window, and this is my first at PSG, is obvious. In relation to purchases and sales. We set up a project for the future. The president and Luis Campos have done a very good job.”he added.
Luis Enrique will not be able to count on his two former players at Barça, in this case the duo Lionel Messi – Neymar. The two South Americans having left Paris during the summer. But, these departures were perfectly compensated with the acquisitions of Barcola, Asensio but also and especially of Kolo Muani and Dembélé. He greatly appreciates it: “We have endless options, with internationals, young people, quality. Of course, if the players know each other well, it’s better. With the staff, we will work to find the best associations. I take it as a personal challenge to take on.”
Luis Enrique discreet on the Verratti case
During this press briefing, Luis Enrique was also asked about the players who can still leave the club, like Marco Verratti. On this subject, he was less verbose. “On Marco, I stand by my position of not disclosing private conversations. I have nothing more to say. The advice that I was able to give him also remains in the private domain.. According to the latest news, if we are to believe what journalist Abdellah Boulma reports, Verratti is upset because the club is pushing him irremediably towards the exit.
