Luis Enrique has made it personal. The Paris Saint-Germain manager has directly appealed to the club’s leadership to finalize a deal for Barcelona defender Jules Koundé before the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off, hoping to lock down one of Europe’s most complete defenders while the transfer window still allows it.
PSG is reportedly prepared to offer approximately €100 million for the Frenchman.
What PSG is actually buying
Koundé has been one of Barcelona’s most consistent performers this season, appearing in 47 matches across all competitions while chipping in 3 goals and 4 assists.
Koundé isn’t just a right-back. He’s a player who can operate across the backline, shift into midfield buildups, and carry the ball under pressure. That versatility is exactly what Enrique is after.
