Luis Enrique will pay more than €60M to Barça, he wants it now: surprise, neither Pedri nor Fermín

The Asturian coach wants him at all costs and has convinced the French club that he is worth that investment

From Paris, they're preparing for a decisive move in this transfer window. This isn't just another addition. We're talking about a personal desire of the coach, who considers him a key piece to complete his project.

Luis Enrique has been insisting to PSG's sporting management for weeks. He wants to strengthen the midfield with someone special. A young player, with personality, international experience, and a style that's perfect for his system.

The profile is clear. He wants someone who sets the pace, who has character, and who knows how to compete without fear. The target he's chosen isn't exactly in a secondary league or a minor team.

The coach's focus is on Spain, specifically on one of the most demanding clubs in Europe. There, his target has made a name for himself through commitment, leadership, and a unique connection with the fans.

A signing that goes beyond soccer: mentality, energy, and hierarchy

Luis Enrique doesn't just value the footballing level of the player. He knows him well from previous stages, where he already had him close. What stands out most about him is his competitive mentality and his fierceness on the field.

He believes his style would fit perfectly in Ligue 1. He thinks he could adapt quickly and make a difference. In addition, he's convinced he has the potential to become a reference in the medium term.

In Paris, they've listened. The board knows that when Luis Enrique insists, it's for more than just intuition. The first discreet contacts have already taken place with the player's entourage, and also with Barça.

From the French capital, they're willing to offer €60 million. An amount they consider fair for the footballer's performance and age.

Barça, pressured by the offer but firm in its message

In Camp Nou offices, they didn't expect this move. The player isn't for sale and there's no immediate need. However, the amount offered forces the club to at least consider the scenario.

The economy continues to condition all of Barça's moves. Although this isn't a priority case, €60 million is an amount that could ease the accounts. Especially if it comes without demanding immediate reinforcements.

The German coach has already been informed of the situation. His response has been clear: he doesn't want to lose him. He considers him an emotionally key piece within the group and an example for the younger players.

Even so, he knows that sporting decisions don't always outweigh economic ones. If the management decides to sell, there won't be any room for maneuver.

A player who's suffered, but who remains untouchable in the locker room

Last season wasn't easy for him. An injury kept him out for many months. His absence only served to show how much his teammates value his energy within the group.

Although he hasn't regained the role of undisputed starter, he remains a respected figure. He's one of those who push, encourage, and never lower their head. For the coaching staff, that's priceless.

In Paris, they trust that this underlying situation will help them convince him. They think he may have doubts and that a call from his former national coach could make the difference. From his entourage, they insist: he's focused on succeeding at Barça.

The player for whom PSG has offered €60 million isn't anyone other than Gavi. The soul of a team that doesn't want to lose him... but knows the market never forgives.
