Luis Enrique has sent a clear message to the Chelsea board amid links to the managerial vacancy at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are searching for a new head coach following the sacking of Liam Rosenior last month, with Calum McFarlane currently in temporary charge.
Enrique, currently at Paris Saint-Germain, previously expressed his desire to work in the Premier League. Speaking in 2023, he told Cadena SER: 'I have a special attraction – I would like to go to England to work. I follow English football a lot, more than Spanish football.'
However, he also stated he would only consider clubs with clear ambitions to win. 'I’m not going to go to any team in the Premier League,' he said. 'I would like to go to one that has clear options to do important things.' Chelsea currently sit ninth in the table and are on a six-match losing streak, which may not align with his criteria.
Despite the speculation, Enrique has confirmed his immediate future remains at PSG, where he is reportedly in negotiations for a contract extension until 2030. He recently said: 'There will be small adjustments, just like last year. We won't sign a lot of players.'
