Liverpool's Chances of Luring Luis Enrique to Anfield Laid Bare as Fabrizio Romano Lays Out PSG Plan

Liverpool's prospects of signing Luis Enrique as their next manager appear slim**, following clarifications from PSG sporting director Luis Campos and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano amid swirling rumors of the Spaniard's potential exit from Paris.

Rumors ignited from a Bild report claiming Luis Enrique, fresh off leading PSG to a historic sextet last season, intends to reject a contract extension and depart when his deal expires in summer 2026[1]. The Spanish coach is reportedly seeking a new challenge, possibly with a national team post-World Cup or amid PSG's slight dip this season—they sit second in Ligue 1, one point behind Lens, and third in the Champions League behind Arsenal and Bayern[1]. This has fueled speculation linking him to Anfield, especially if Liverpool part ways with their current boss.

However, PSG's Luis Campos swiftly dismissed the claims as "100% fake news", directly refuting suggestions of Enrique's refusal to extend[3]. A Diario AS report even suggested PSG is contemplating a groundbreaking lifetime contract for the former Barcelona tactician, underscoring their commitment after his triumphs, including European glory[2].

Fabrizio Romano, via his Here We Go updates, has laid out PSG's firm plan: Enrique remains central to their project, with no intention of letting him go. Romano emphasized PSG's desire to build long-term around the 55-year-old, who has transformed the club into European champions. Sources close to the Parisians indicate active talks for renewal, quashing hopes for Premier League suitors like Liverpool.

For Liverpool, this is a blow. Enrique's tactical acumen and success make him an ideal fit, but PSG's resolve—bolstered by Campos' denial and Romano's insights—leaves the Reds' chances at near zero. Anfield may need to pivot to other targets as Enrique eyes staying in Paris[1][2][3].
