Luis Enrique’s next club revealed amid Rodrygo talks

A decision taking shape

Luis Enrique’s time at Paris Saint Germain appears to be approaching a turning point. According to Defensa Central, the Spanish coach has rejected a proposal to extend his stay in Paris, despite having a contract that runs until 2027.

The report states that Enrique believes the coming months present the right moment for a fresh challenge, particularly as changes behind the scenes continue at PSG. Managerial movement across Europe has also influenced his thinking, with several elite clubs expected to enter the market.

Rather than committing long term in Paris, Enrique is said to be assessing options that would allow him to begin a new project elsewhere.

Rodrygo part of future plans

Speculation around Rodrygo’s future has intensified alongside uncertainty over Enrique’s next move. According to Defensa Central, the PSG coach is a long time admirer of the Real Madrid winger and sees him as a player capable of leading an attacking rebuild.

The outlet reports that Enrique considers Rodrygo an ideal tactical fit and has discussed him internally as a reference point for any future squad. While PSG have shown interest, the report adds that Enrique could look to pursue the Brazilian wherever he ends up next.

Rodrygo’s role at Real Madrid has become less secure following tactical changes under Xabi Alonso. As reported in Spain, the club would consider offers in the region of 80 million euros.

Premier League interest grows

Attention is now turning toward England. According to Defensa Central, Luis Enrique is open to managing in the Premier League and views the competition as an appealing next step in his career.

Manchester United have emerged as a potential destination. The club are reassessing their long term direction following the decision to move on from Ruben Amorim, according to reports cited by Spanish media.

United’s immediate focus is on stability, with an interim appointment expected to take charge until the end of the season.

United planning beyond the interim

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick are both under consideration for the caretaker role, according to Defensa Central. The report notes that their familiarity with the club makes them suitable short term options during a period of transition.

However, this is only part of a broader plan. United are expected to target an experienced head coach in the summer, someone capable of leading a full rebuild both on and off the pitch.

With Enrique preparing to leave Paris and actively considering a new challenge, Manchester United are being closely monitored as a possible next destination if discussions progress.
