Luis Enrique wants a superstar signing at Paris Saint-Germain, with reports claiming he is pushing for a Liverpool player.

Enrique signed a two-year contract when he was appointed PSG boss in 2023 and is now entering the final year of his deal.

Although there has been no official confirmation for the club or Enrique, Le Parisien say that he has already signed his extension.

A deal until 2027 has been suggested and a separate report states that the former Spain and Barcelona boss wants a marquee addition.

Talisman Kylian Mbappe left on a free in the summer, with the current PSG crop less reliant on individuals.

But Fichajes say Enrique wants to bring Mo Salah to Paris. His side are lacking in guaranteed goal threats and Salah, who has found the net 217 times in 359 games, more than fits the bill.

Alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, the Egyptian's contract is due to expire in the summer and Liverpool are desperate to tie him down to fresh terms.

PSG would be able to offer Salah a huge salary should he wish to move on and present him a chance to remain playing at a high level in Europe.

However, the former Chelsea star is still a huge target for the Saudi Pro League - having been heavily linked with a £150 million switch to Al Ittihad.

Saudi Pro League sporting director Michael Emenalo shed light on the pursuit of Salah last summer, confirming they were very much interested in acquiring him.

Speaking on The Obi One Podcast, he explained: "The stories that our teams went after him was true, it is true, there was an interest, but just like [Victor] Osimhen, it’s ok for me to have an interest in signing Mo, but the club have to have an interest in letting him go, and if those things don’t align, you don’t have a deal.

"Fundamentally, Liverpool didn’t want to sell and what price were we willing to buy at? I didn’t feel the player was ready to come because he felt like he had unfinished business."

Salah signed for Liverpool from Roma in 2017 for a fee of £36.5 million.
