Luis Enrique's Brutal Reply to Man Utd Links Before Making Feelings Clear on Liverpool

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) sporting director Luis Campos has delivered a scathing dismissal of rumors linking manager Luis Enrique to Liverpool FC, branding them "100% fake news." The speculation arose amid reports from German outlet Bild claiming Enrique had rejected a contract extension at PSG, with his current deal set to expire in summer 2027, fueling talk of a potential move to Anfield as a replacement for under-fire Liverpool boss Arne Slot.[1]



Enrique, the 55-year-old Spaniard who has masterminded 99 wins in 144 matches at PSG—a impressive 68.75% win rate—has remained silent on the matter. However, Campos' furious rebuttal shuts down any immediate departure, insisting the coach is fully committed to the Parc des Princes project despite ongoing questions about his long-term future.[1]

The rumors gained traction as Slot faces mounting pressure at Liverpool, with some outlets speculating a mid-season sacking. Yet PSG's firm stance leaves the Reds' supposed "No. 1 target" firmly off-limits for 2026. Enrique's success in France, including Champions League triumphs in his playing days, makes him a dream appointment, but Campos emphasized there is no truth to claims of Enrique considering his options elsewhere.[1]

Beyond Enrique, Liverpool's radar remains on PSG talent, with a boost in their pursuit of winger Bradley Barcola after shifting away from Manchester City-bound Antoine Semenyo. PSG may still seek clarity from Enrique by season's end to quash further speculation, but for now, the links to Liverpool—and even fleeting Manchester United whispers—are brutally refuted.[1]

This episode underscores the transfer market's frenzy, where unverified reports from sources like Bild ignite firestorms, only for clubs like PSG to douse them decisively. Liverpool fans hoping for an Enrique revolution will have to wait—or look elsewhere amid Slot's turbulent tenure.[1]
