Barcelona Get Bad News as PSG Eye Promising Talent

PSG might be eyeing yet another Barcelona player as they build on their recent success and solidify their status as a European powerhouse following their UEFA Champions League triumph and historic treble last season. A new addition from the Catalan club could be on the way.

The French giants have a history of bringing talent from Barcelona to Paris, and this potential move would fit that pattern.

Arnau Tenas and Ousmane Dembélé were the most recent to make the switch, joining a list that already includes Neymar Jr., Lionel Messi, and Xavi Simons. It’s fair to wonder if another familiar face could soon follow that same path.

According to Mundo Deportivo, PSG have set their sights on 18-year-old Juan Hernández, one of FC Barcelona Atlético’s most promising young players.

Moreover, the report mentions that manager Luis Enrique and the club’s scouting team are closely tracking the midfielder’s development, viewing him as an ideal addition to PSG’s ongoing project of nurturing top young European talent—even if that approach often involves steep transfer fees.

Hernández’s release clause is set at €6 million, but he could be available on a free transfer once his contract expires. With his extension at FC Barcelona still not finalized despite initial talks with his representatives, PSG see him as an appealing and affordable opportunity.

Nonetheless, Hernández isn’t the only Barcelona player linked to the capital club heading into the winter and summer transfer windows next year. Despite the player’s recent long-term injury, E-Notícies previously reported that PSG manager Luis Enrique is still pursuing a transfer for Barcelona midfielder Gavi.
