Coach Luis Enrique Hints At Leaving PSG For Barca, Predicts EPL Title Winner

The former manager of FC Barcelona, Luis Enrique, has noted that he would like to coach the club again but that might be complicated currently.

Luis Enrique first coached FC Barcelona from 2014 to 2017 before he left to coach Spain’s national team from 2018 to 2022.

Enrique lost his job with the Spain national team after failing to do much with the team during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Hence, from the 2022-2023 season, the 53-year-old Spanish tactician was jobless and FC Barcelona were doing well in La Liga with coach Xavi Hernandez ending up with the league title.

Unfortunately for Barcelona, Xavi has announced that he would exit the club at the end of this season leaving the club with the dilemma of finding a replacement.

Luis Enrique who was jobless has now gotten a job as the manager of Paris Saint Germain and it will be extremely difficult for another club to convince him to leave the French Ligue 1 giants.

The sporting director of the club, Deco, has hinted that Enrique is an ideal candidate for the job at Barca but the Spanish tactician said his current contract with PSG has made it more complicated.

“I have always said that I would like to [return], but the reality is that it is very complicated for paths to cross,” Enrique said during a Q&A session on his Twitch channel.

“It is difficult to coincide in time. This summer, from what Xavi has said, they will need another coach, but I have a contract and my rule is to continue and be faithful to the people who trust me.”

He added, “Last summer, I was available, but they had a coach. This summer, they need a coach. It’s difficult for it all to line up.”

Meanwhile, Luis Enrique hopes that Arsenal or Manchester City win the 2023-2024 Premier League title.

He proved his dislike for Liverpool by stressing that he would prefer Aston Villa to win it if Arsenal and City failed to win it. He, however, stressed that Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are favourites to win the title.

“I would like it if Mikel Arteta won it with Arsenal”, Luis Enrique said on his Twitch channel.

“Otherwise, I’d like it to be Pep Guardiola (Manchester City), who has already won a lot.

“And if not that, then it’s Aston Villa’s Unai Emery.

“City are the favourites in my opinion.”

Football legend Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, are reportedly heading for a divorce, according to emerging online reports.

Speculation was sparked by Cuban astrologer Mhoni Vidente, who boldly claimed on live television that Messi had been “flirtatious” and was romantically involved with another woman.

Although the claims remain unconfirmed, they have sparked widespread discussion about the potential financial implications of a separation for the football icon, according to La República.

With an estimated net worth of $650 million as of 2025, Messi could potentially lose a substantial part of his fortune if Antonela were to file for divorce.

Married in 2017 and parents to three sons, the couple has long been regarded as one of football’s most admired and enduring power couples.

Messi boasts an impressive real estate portfolio that stretches across continents. In Miami, the Argentine football star owns a luxurious waterfront mansion in Fort Lauderdale’s exclusive Bay Colony neighborhood, reportedly worth several million dollars, according to Zonal Sports.

The mansion features eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a spa, and a private fishing pier, offering the ultimate blend of luxury and comfort.

Messi also owns luxury apartments in the Porsche Design Tower and Regalia Tower in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, each valued in the $5 – $7 million range, Finance Monthly reports.

 

In Spain, Messi’s Castelldefels mansion near Barcelona includes a private football pitch, swimming pool, and home theatre. Meanwhile, in his hometown of Rosario, Argentina, he owns “La Fortaleza,” a custom-built dream estate designed for his retirement.

 

Messi’s prized real estate assets also include a lavish $11 million villa in Ibiza and a luxury hotel chain, MiM Hotels. Operated under the Majestic Hotel Group, the five-star chain reportedly generates over $400 million in monthly revenue.

Beyond real estate, Messi has expanded his empire into fashion and tech. He runs The Messi Store, a clothing line headed by Ginny Hilfiger, and also produces signature wines under his “Leo” and “L10” labels. In the tech space, his investment firm, Play Time Sports-Tech, supports major ventures in Silicon Valley and oversees the growth of his global brand.

If divorce proceedings move forward, Antonela could also have a claim to Messi’s luxury car collection—which includes high-end brands like Ferrari, Lexus, and Range Rover—as well as his $15 million Gulfstream private jet.

 

Messi’s array of luxurious cars include: Cadillac Escalade: a high-performance SUV costing around €100,000.

Range Rover Evoque: a premium SUV costing around €50,000

Range Rover: the stronger variant Priced around €125,000 Lexus LX570: valued at €100,000

Ferrari F430 Spider: a vintage car available at around €180,000

Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale: valued at €180,000

Mini Cabrio: a thrilling and fun addition to his collection costing €50,000.

With such a vast and diverse portfolio of assets and income streams, a potential divorce could carry major financial consequences for Messi. Although the couple has yet to confirm the rumours, the stakes are undeniably high should they prove true.
