According to Football Insider, Manchester City could be given hope in their pursuit of Luis Enrique, with the Spanish boss yet to commit his future to PSG. Pep Guardiola’s future is coming under scrutiny with multiple suggestions stating he could leave sooner than expected.
Manchester City may have a big decision on their hands ahead of the summer or in the near future, as they may have to address their managerial situation. Pep Guardiola is expected not to renew beyond his existing terms that expire in 2027, but there are suggestions he could leave sooner than expected.
Guardiola could be poised to leave in the summer, with a host of names already considered to replace him, with some high-profile options being mentioned. Enzo Maresca remains a target, and the former Chelsea boss is free of a job following his departure from Stamford Bridge a few weeks ago.
However, their links to 55-year-old former Barcelona manager, Luis Enrique, is drawing plenty of headlines as Manchester City could seriously consider appointing the PSG boss at the helm as Guardiola’s replacement. The idea might be bright enough to bring the former Barcelona boss, given his impeccable track record in the game.
Manchester City are now given encouragement in the chase, with Enrique yet to commit to his future at PSG. The Parisians are trying hard to get a new deal in place, and while the 55-year-old former Barcelona manager had dismissed recent rumours over his future, he does remain a big candidate in the market, especially for Premier League clubs.
PSG are reluctant to lose Enrique, given the success from last season, and are eager to get a new deal in place. However, if teams like Manchester City, with a promising project and a big budget, come calling, he might consider the idea of a switch away to a more competitive league.
Manchester City are not alone in the race, as Liverpool had considered him as a potential Arne Slot replacement, while Manchester United are also in the mix. However, for now, all eyes will be on the 55-year-old former Barcelona manager on whether he renews with PSG, and should he walk away from the idea, the likes of Manchester City will be ready if Guardiola departs.
