PSG won the lot. Now they want more. L'Équipe report the club are preparing to add serious attacking depth this summer, and the name circulating internally is a Premier League winger Luis Enrique has been chasing since the last window. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, per sources at the Parc des Princes, has already given the green light.
A Premier League winger — identity not yet confirmed publicly, though L'Équipe's sourcing places him firmly in Luis Enrique's scouting notes dating back to last summer's window.
Premier League. Beyond that, the Parc des Princes is keeping its cards close.
Paris Saint-Germain. The project under Enrique has leaned hard into wide, high-energy attackers who press from the front and carry in behind — this pursuit fits that profile exactly.
L'Équipe, with internal sourcing from the Parc des Princes. Not a whisper — a named direction of travel.
Strong rumour. L'Équipe don't float PSG names carelessly, and the detail that Al-Khelaïfi has personally signed off suggests this is past the exploratory stage. Nothing is done, but the intent is real.
PSG are tripling down on attacking options despite a season in which they won everything in front of them. The logic, apparently, is that Enrique wants competition and cover at the highest level — and he's had a specific target in mind since the summer. The club's hierarchy is aligned. That alignment matters at PSG more than most places.
Al-Khelaïfi was photographed mid-handshake at the title celebrations. He already looked like a man planning the next one.
Enrique's system devours wide players. The press demands are brutal, rotations are frequent, and PSG's Champions League ambitions mean they need genuine depth rather than squad fillers. A proven Premier League winger — physical, direct, comfortable in a high line — would slot into that framework cleanly. The money, as ever at PSG, is not the obstacle.
The player's identity needs to surface publicly. A fee and personal terms need agreeing. And the selling club — whoever they are — needs convincing that losing a first-team winger mid-rebuild is a trade worth making. Premier League clubs don't tend to sell easily in the current market. This one will take work.
