The winter transfer market hasn't started in the best way for Paris Saint-Germain's Al-Khelaïfi and Luis Enrique. The Qatari executive and businessman has admitted that he didn't make the best decision when he accepted one of the Asturian coach's requests when he arrived in Paris. It's no wonder: he arrived as one of the stars of the French team and today doesn't get any playing time on the field.
However, this situation hasn't surprised the top teams in European elite. It's a transfer that very few were able to understand, considering that PSG already had great players in the offensive area. Now the situation is more complex for the Parisian team, considering that this star has been offered to different clubs, including FC Barcelona.
"Discard" of Luis Enrique
It's no surprise that in every transfer market, PSG invests significant amounts of money to renew its team. Al-Khelaïfi has been spending millions of euros on players who, over time, stopped having a future in the French club's ranks. Thus, it's evident that Paris Saint-Germain's "obsession" with establishing itself as the best team on the continent has led it to make bad decisions and sign players it didn't really need.
The situation of this star confirms it: PSG signed him at Luis Enrique's request and he practically doesn't set foot on the field. In fact, that same summer they brought in Kolo Muani, Bradley Barcola, Kang-In Lee, and Gonçalo Ramos, who cost a lot of money. The Asturian coach insisted they couldn't miss the opportunity to sign this star and today they're looking for ways to offload him.
Offered to Barça
At the Parc des Princes, they decided to bet on Marco Asensio a few years ago, and today they don't know what to do with him. Luis Enrique knew the Spanish striker perfectly and had no doubts that he could be important in his scheme. However, his performance hasn't been as expected and hasn't met the club's and fans' expectations.
In light of this situation, Al-Khelaïfi has started looking for a buyer for Asensio. The Qatari has offered him to the top teams in Europe, and has paid special attention to FC Barcelona. PSG would facilitate his loan and might even allow him to leave the club at a minimal cost.
