Summary

Al-Khelaifi Extends

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said the club will seek a longer-term contract for coach Luis Enrique beyond his 2027 deal.
He hinted in an ICI Paris Île-de-France interview that a new agreement could keep Enrique at PSG until 2030.
He said the extension supports a “dynasty” plan for sustained dominance and helps retain core players Vitinha, Ousmane Dembélé and Marquinhos, already integrated into Enrique’s system.
