PSG makes €150 million offer for Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández at Luis Enrique’s request

French giants target Argentine midfielder to strengthen midfield ahead of new season

Paris Saint-Germain have set their sights on Chelsea’s Argentine star Enzo Fernández as they look to reinforce their midfield for the upcoming campaign. The move is reportedly a direct request from head coach Luis Enrique, who views the 23-year-old as a cornerstone for PSG’s next phase of dominance in both domestic and European competitions.

According to Fichajes, PSG have submitted a €150 million (R$950 million) offer  comprised of €125 million in fixed fees plus €25 million in performance-based add-ons  in a bid to convince Chelsea to part ways with the World Cup-winning midfielder.

Why Luis Enrique Wants Enzo Fernández

Luis Enrique believes Fernández brings a rare combination of technical quality, tactical intelligence, and defensive reliability. Known for his precise passing, ability to dictate tempo, and knack for winning back possession, the Argentine could serve as a central pillar in PSG’s quest for sustained success.

Beyond Ligue 1, PSG’s ambitions remain fixed on the UEFA Champions League, with the club targeting a second consecutive title. Enrique sees Fernández as a player capable of influencing high-pressure knockout matches, offering both creativity in attack and solidity in defensive transitions.

Negotiations with Chelsea

Talks between the clubs are said to be advanced, with PSG hoping to finalize the deal before the end of the summer transfer window. Chelsea, meanwhile, are weighing the significant offer against their own plans for squad restructuring.

For Fernández, the move could represent a step into a team built to compete for every trophy, while offering him a key role in one of Europe’s most attack-minded squads.

Impact on PSG’s Midfield

If signed, Fernández is expected to form a dynamic partnership with players such as Vitinha and Warren Zaïre-Emery, potentially reshaping PSG’s midfield balance. His arrival would:

• Increase internal competition for starting spots.
• Allow tactical flexibility between possession-dominant and counter-attacking systems.
• Enhance squad depth for fixture congestion in both domestic and continental competitions.

The Parisian club is expected to push hard to seal the deal in the coming weeks, as they aim to hand Luis Enrique one of the most complete midfield units in Europe.
