The defeat of Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 Club World Cup final against Chelsea has left repercussions within the Parisian team. Beyond the psychological blow, the result has highlighted some deficiencies in the squad, especially in the midfield area. Luis Enrique, the manager of PSG, has clearly identified the issue and has already expressed to the board his desire to immediately strengthen that position.

The Asturian coach has requested the signings of two players he knows well: Marc Casadó and Fermín López, both from FC Barcelona. Luis Enrique has been closely following the development of these two midfielders for several seasons and believes they have the ideal profile to complement and compete with Vitinha and Joao Neves, the only midfielders he currently fully trusts in his rotation.

Barcelona is willing to listen to offers... but always under their conditions

PSG's interest has not gone unnoticed in Barcelona. Although the Catalan club values both players highly and they are well-regarded within the sporting project, the financial situation remains delicate, and they might consider offers if the Parisian team presents a convincing proposal.

However, it won't be cheap. It has been leaked from the Camp Nou that the evaluations of both players are close to 70 million euros each, a sum that could be negotiable depending on the terms and timing of the operation. Luis Enrique, on his part, believes that both Casadó and Fermín would not only bring quality and balance but also a competitive spirit that is currently lacking in his midfield.

PSG wants to react swiftly, and the names of Casadó and Fermín are highlighted in red on Luis Enrique's agenda to strengthen the midfield after the setback in the World Cup final.
