The French paper believes he will take over at Chelsea

Luis Enrique has been linked as a possible replacement for Unai Emery as Paris Saint-Germain but reports in France say the former Barcelona coach will not take over at the Parc des Princes. 

Newspaper Le Parisien says the Spanish coach has already been ruled out because he is close to reaching an agreement to take over from Antonio Conte at Chelsea. 

In the report they also reveal, as previously published in SPORT, that Neymar had given his blessing for the Ligue 1 leaders to move for Luis Enrique. 

Another name on the table is Carlo Ancelotti, who was previously in charge in Paris before moving to Real Madrid as the replacement for Jose Mourinho. 

Le Parisien explain that Verratti and Thiago Silva have even phoned the Italian coach, who left in 2013, in a bid to get him to return to France. 

Conte, who is likely to leave Chelsea this summer, is the third of four Italians on the list, with Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri and former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini, now at Zenit in Russia, also being considered. 

Other names to have been linked with the job are Mauricio Pochettino, Zinedine Zidane, Diego Simeone, Jurgen Klopp and even Napoli's Sarri, although PSG believe it would be difficult to lure them away from their current jobs.
