La Liga star on PSG radar as Luis Enrique makes transfer plea

PSG had a midfield that worked like a machine last season and helped the team win every trophy they went after.

Vitinha controlled the pace of the game, Joao Neves covered every inch of space, and Fabian Ruiz helped connect the defence with the attack.

Together, they brought control, rhythm and consistency across all competitions.

Even after such a perfect season, Luis Enrique feels there is still something missing in the middle of the pitch.

He is not planning to break up the current trio, but he wants to add someone who can bring something different and is reportedly looking for a player who can be more direct and create danger near the opponent’s goal.

Luis Enrique tells PSG to sign La Liga star

Luis Enrique has turned his attention to Fermin Lopez as he looks to add something extra to his PSG midfield, according to Fichajes.

The young Spaniard has enjoyed a breakthrough year at Barcelona, scoring eight times and assisting ten more across 46 matches and his rise has not gone unnoticed across Europe.

Lopez has built a reputation for playing with energy, making sharp decisions and showing fearlessness near the goal.

Those qualities match exactly what Enrique expects from his attacking players and it's no surprise he wants him in Paris.

Barcelona, who are now rebuilding under Hansi Flick, are open to selling if the price is right.

They have placed an €80 million [$93m] tag on Lopez as they look to raise money to strengthen other areas of the squad.

But PSG might not be alone in this race for long, with both Manchester City and Manchester United keeping close tabs on the situation, and any delay from the French champions could give the Premier League clubs a chance to move in.
