Paris Saint-Germain could go very seriously for one of the defensive pillars of FC Barcelona. Beyond having top central defenders, such as Marquinhos and Milan Skriniar, Luis Enrique would have set his sights on one of the 'jewels' of the Catalans to protect the Parisian defense in 2025, as long as PSG manages to take advantage of Barça's financial emergencies to negotiate a reasonable transfer.
According to the latest information, the Asturian would have asked the club to sign Pau Cubarsí in the next summer market. The 17-year-old center back has become a key piece of the Barça defense this year, with a total of 35 games played (2,735 minutes) in which he has made a couple of assists. Despite his young age, the '2' culé has already managed to win an Olympic gold and remains undisputed in Hansi Flick's XI, maintaining the position he won in the final stretch of Xavi Hernández's cycle.
Barça is not willing to listen to offers for Pau Cubarsí
However, Barça does not plan to listen to offers for the youth player in 2025, regardless of how juicy the offers from PSG, Manchester City or any other European giant could be. Pau renewed until 2027 with a termination clause of 500 million euros, a figure that the club that wishes to sign him must pay as long as Barça does not change its mind regarding the defender's future.
Cubarsí was the last 'discovery' of Xavi Hernández before his departure from the culé bench. The Egarense gave him his debut in the Champions League against Naples at the age of 17 years and 50 days, with which the boy became the youngest defender to play in a 'KO' phase match in the Champions League. In the quarterfinals, precisely against PSG, he also broke another record for precocity, as the youngest defender to reach this stage of the tournament (17 years and 79 days). In that key, the Catalan 'fell in love' with Luis Enrique, who dreams of taking him to the French capital in 2025 along with Lamine Yamal, the other great Parisian objective for the future.
