Luis Enrique, after winning the Champions League with PSG, has gained even more influence in the Parisian offices. The Asturian coach wants to shape a new project that combines young talent, experience, and absolute commitment. His plan involves making major changes in the midfield.
Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Joan Laporta and Deco are still looking for ways to improve the squad without putting the club's financial stability at risk. With several deals still pending, a possibility has emerged that could be key for the team's immediate future: a direct swap with PSG.

Barça listens closely: double offer from Paris
The French club has put a proposal on the table. It not only includes one of its most used midfielders, but also offers a second footballer with experience in LaLiga and versatility. The goal is to convince Barça to let go of one of its top prospects.
From the French capital, they believe that the energy, boldness, and directness of that Barça player would be crucial in the new playing style Luis Enrique wants to implement. That's why they're willing to make a significant effort, including important names in the deal.

Barça's German coach has been informed about the possibility of this swap. Despite the appreciation he has for his young footballer, he understands that the profile offered from Paris could bring competitive maturity, Champions League experience, and immediate balance to the playing system.
Within the Barça board, the idea is also starting to gain traction. With the possible departure of other midfielders this summer and the need to strengthen lines without major investments, a deal like this could prove strategic. Especially if it's achieved under favorable conditions.

Luis Enrique pushes to close the deal
At PSG, they don't hide their interest. They want to close a deal they consider key to keep dominating in Europe as soon as possible. They're willing to give up a key player, even with added financial compensation, if they can secure the player they desire.
Additionally, to entice Barça, the French side has added a second name to the negotiation. A Spanish footballer who has lost prominence in Paris, but still has much to offer and could fit perfectly into Barça's rotation as a reliable alternative.

From the executive offices at Camp Nou, every detail of the deal is being analyzed. Although the departure of the involved Barça player would be painful both emotionally and in sporting terms, the opportunity to strengthen two key positions at zero cost—or even with a profit—is hard to ignore.
The coaching staff values the competitive character and leadership ability of the main player offered by PSG. This is an ideal profile to accompany Pedri and complete a midfield that needs strength, vision, and the ability to adapt to different scenarios.

The names behind the deal
The player PSG has persistently asked about is Fermín López. His development has caught Luis Enrique's attention, who wants him in his new project no matter what. To convince Barça, the Parisians have offered Vitinha, a key piece in the European title, and the Spaniard Carlos Soler, who would arrive to expand the midfield rotation.
The swap isn't closed yet, but negotiations are advanced. It could be one of the most impactful moves of the summer. A trade that would mark a turning point both in Barcelona and Paris.
