On Thursday, during a pre-match press conference ahead of PSG's clash with Monaco, Enrique spoke extensively about the new arrivals and departures during PSG's summer transfer window.

During this summer transfer window, Barcola, Mbappé, Gonçalo Ramos, and Lee Kang-in left the club, while Hojlund, Ferran Torres, Digne, and Akliouche joined the Champions League holders. Facing these changes, the Spanish coach appeared very satisfied and specifically expressed his gratitude to the management.

"To summarize, I can say we had a very good transfer window—for me, there's no doubt about that. I think the president and management, working together with Luis Campos, did very well. I'm very satisfied. Let me start with a brief explanation. I want to specifically mention the players who left: Ramos, Lee, Barcola, and Mbappé. Over the past two years, they were very important in helping the team win the championship, and I wish them all the best. It was necessary for us to do this because the team needs to refresh its ambitions. This was a very good transfer window. We're delighted to start the new season with the current group of players." He first commented on the team's overall transfer operations before discussing the most anticipated departure—Barcola's.

At this point, the former Spanish national team coach also believed that it was a necessary choice for all parties to move forward. "Barcola's situation is different because we recruited him from Lyon, and he developed a lot in Paris. His performances significantly improved the team, but he wanted more playing time. I couldn't guarantee that to him. Ultimately, I think this outcome is beneficial for everyone. I accept this decision and wish him all the best. He wanted to leave because he desired a more prominent role, but I can't immediately hand that position to any player—they have to earn it through training and matches. He's important, a beloved player, his teammates liked him, and he's a great person. Everything I've said about him is positive. Despite having two years remaining on his contract, we accepted his decision and wish him luck. It will be normal for important players to leave in the future, and we have to accept that."

The former Lyon player was skilled at exploiting interior spaces, and his departure could impact PSG. However, Enrique believes that with the arrival of new players, PSG already has other weapons. "The situation is different because Barcola is a different type of player, and we utilized him well in our playing style. I'm very satisfied with the three forwards we have. Hojlund, Akliouche, and Ferran Torres can all play in different attacking positions, and this season will be very important for them. Looking at their performances in training, I'm very pleased. But we can't compare, because you never know what will happen next." All of this shows that Enrique is aligned with management on all sporting decisions.
