According to Daily Sport, Barcelona are keeping a close eye on current Paris coach
Former manager of St. Germain
Enrique
, and hopes that he will return in 2025 to
Barcelona
Barcelona have a soft spot for their former manager Luis Enrique, especially when he led the team to success. Currently, Enrique is coaching in Paris and has led the team to the Champions League semi-finals. Barca are hoping that Enrique will not renew his contract with Paris and will return to Barca when his contract expires in 2025.
Despite Enrique's excellent coaching performance in Paris, Barcelona still hope that he will consider returning to Barcelona. Barca's top brass are said to be particularly optimistic about Enrique taking over the team after Xavi's departure and see him as the ideal candidate. Although initially Deco wanted to invite Enrique to coach immediately, but finally Barcelona decided to Harvey to lead the team for another year.
Enrique has no desire to terminate his contract with Paris Saint-Germain at the moment, but Barcelona want him to consider the possibility of a return when his contract expires in 2025. If Enrique chooses to extend his contract, then his return to Barca becomes very unlikely.
