Is Luis Enrique Signing a One-Way Ticket to Forever at PSG?
27 January 2026
Enrique's PSG future under discussion
About a year ago, Luis Enrique expressed his desire to stay with Paris Saint-Germain for many years, after extending his deal through 2027, and he had yet to win the Champions League he craves. With less than a year and a half left on his contract, questions about his future have resurfaced at the heart of Parisian conversations.
According to Le Parisien, the parties have already begun talks about a contract extension. PSG, keen to build its future with Enrique, sees this as a top priority and regards him as “the best coach in the world.” In Paris, Enrique is viewed as a cornerstone of the sporting project, a leader responsible for discipline, who has shaped the team around promising youngsters, such as 18-year-old Drew Fernandez, recently recruited from Barcelona and signed until June 2030.
Enrique also works daily with sporting director Luis Campos, whose contract was extended to 2030 in May 2025, and he enjoys the unconditional trust of Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the club president. PSG wants maximum stability and has reportedly discussed a “lifelong” contract, though the club denies a permanent agreement at this time.
Key figures behind the plan
At the start of the year, Enrique himself dismissed rumors of an imminent or mid-term departure, calling them attempts to destabilize the club from abroad, at a moment when calm and stability are needed.
A close source told Le Parisien: “He is very happy in Paris with PSG.” That statement goes a long way toward clearing up any doubt about his future.
The club's European ambitions continue to hinge on Enrique’s leadership, as Paris seeks to keep him at the helm while nurturing a young core and navigating ongoing transfer dynamics. If a life-long deal ever materializes, PSG might finally stop debating who gets the last word in the coffee room—spoiler: it’s probably the coach’s whistle.
