PSG boss Luis Enrique targets Atletico midfielder Pablo Barrios

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has identified Atletico midfielder Pablo Barrios as his preferred addition to the squad, according to reports.

The Spanish coach wants the French Ligue 1 side to sign the 23-year-old, but a deal is expected to be difficult to complete.

Atletico could reject an initial offer from PSG, which would leave the French club needing to substantially increase its bid to have a realistic chance of finalising the transfer. Luis Enrique is keen for the move to go ahead.

Transfermarkt values Pablo Barrios at 55 million euros.
