PSG focuses on repeating the spectacular season they experienced this year with the league, cup, and its first Champions League title. Although they have achieved successes, they also face possible departures, such as Donnarumma, who after his recent statements could leave the club. In this scenario, Luis Enrique has set his sights on players from FC Barcelona to strengthen the squad.
The goal remains to keep the strength of the project, and for this reason, the Asturian coach has analyzed several profiles, not ruling out the possibility of bringing back Barça talent if opportunities arise. The club has already explored options and prepared strong financial proposals. The work plan includes strengthening specific areas to avoid any drop in performance.

PSG changes strategy: leaves Gavi and Yamal behind
PSG tried to sign Lamine Yamal last summer with an offer exceeding €200 million, but Barça rejected every proposal. They also showed interest in Gavi a few weeks ago, but talks didn't progress either. The idea was to attract young stars with potential, but both targets were ruled out.
Now the name at the top of PSG's wish list is another key Barça player, whom they want to sign this summer. The Parisian board is preparing a multimillion-euro offer and has communicated its intention to the Catalan club. Luis Enrique's team is sending clear signals that it's willing to compete for top-level players.

PSG has a clear strategy: to offer no less than €100 million (100 millones de euros) to sign this defender. The financial offer could be attractive for any club. The amount shows the strength of Luis Enrique's project in France and its commitment to strengthening important defensive positions.
Despite the explicit interest and the generous offer, the player in question keeps a firm commitment to Barça. His tactical adaptation and his trust with Hansi Flick have made him an essential piece of the Barcelona defensive system. Both he and the Catalan entity have been quick to deny any intention of leaving.
Total commitment: there will be no moves
The club has communicated that they aren't willing to negotiate or consider the offer. The German coach has made it clear that this footballer is undisputed in his scheme. In addition, the board supports this position, considering it would be an unnecessary loss during planning time.
The player's entourage has also expressed their desire to stay. They state that he feels valued and wants to keep growing at Camp Nou. His roots in the current project and the trust of teammates have been decisive for his decision.

PSG will have to look for other alternatives to strengthen its squad. Luis Enrique won't be able to sign his main target within the Barça market. The defensive position at Barça isn't for sale, at least for now.
At the end of the news we reveal: the player in question is none other than Jules Koundé, who refused to sign for PSG and will continue defending FC Barcelona's jersey next season.
