One of the areas that PSG plans to strengthen ahead of next season is the defense. With this objective in mind, the Parisians have shown interest in a compatriot of head coach Luis Enrique, according to reports.

Paris Saint-Germain is eager to make history, having already qualified for the UEFA Champions League final for the second straight year. 

After that, it will be time to take a well-deserved vacation. Not for everyone, as the 2026 World Cup is fast approaching.

The coaching staff, meanwhile, will try to concoct an even more competitive squad for next season. The defense will be one of the topics discussed by Enrique and his staff. Several names have surfaced in recent months, more or less fanciful.

On Tuesday night, Atletico Madrid saw its nice Champions League run come to an abrupt end on Arsenal's field. Defender Marc Pubill did not miss a single minute of this double confrontation against the English. He was one of the standout players of the game.

On Wednesday, Spanish outlet Fichajes reported that Enrique is pushing for his management to get their hands on Pubill, 22. Last summer, Atletico made a good deal by signing the player for a $17.5 million fee. Now, the Colchoneros do not wish to part with their protégé. Unless a club comes to pay a release clause estimated at $87 million.

Within PSG's reach. In any case, Pubill has all the makings of an ideal reinforcement for Luis Enrique. Standing 6-foot-2, he would bring density to the Parisian central defense. Without losing sight of the fact that the native of Terrassa spent the beginning of his career at right back. Enough to help, or even replace, an increasingly sought-after Achraf Hakimi. Let's see.
