Luis Enrique could soon be on the market and could accept an offer from Manchester United as the PSG manager has told those in France that he will not extend his contract.
Luis Enrique has reportedly told PSG bosses he intends to leave the club when his contract expires in the summer, putting him up for sale just as Manchester United consider a new manager.
The Spaniard has enjoyed great success in Paris, winning the treble last season and scoring an emphatic victory in the Champions League final. It was the trophy that PSG’s Qatari owners coveted most and Enrique achieved it in strong style.
His playing philosophy has garnered great praise and his feat in the French capital comes after similar success with Barcelona. PSG had hoped Enrique would commit his future to the club with a long-term contract, but the 55-year-old left the club stunned by refusing to extend his contract.
Marca claims Enrique feels he has achieved all he can in Paris and is ready to let someone new take over and turn his attention to his next project.
The timing coincides with Manchester’s red team looking for their next permanent manager. Enrique’s name had not been mentioned due to his role in Paris, but now that he is leaving, he could become a major player.

He was linked with a move in 2021 during the search for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s successor at Old Trafford. The likes of Zinedine Zidane and Mauricio Pochettino were linked with Erik ten Hag even before he arrived. However, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was at the club at the time, told United’s managers that they should pursue Enrique.
At the time, the former Barcelona manager was in charge of the Spanish national team and was preparing for the World Cup in a few years, so he was never pursued, but he continued to prove his worth as United faltered and struggled for a silver medal.
The Red Devils are considering appointing an interim boss until the end of the campaign, at which point they will consider naming their next permanent boss. If Enrique is put up for sale, there may be a number of suitors if he wants to return directly to management.
Liverpool are known for their passionate fans and he is thought to be a long-term target. Arne Slott has been questioned to steady the ship, but if the Spaniard becomes available, it could be a matter of which club is prepared to make the first move to acquire his services.
