Arsene Wenger Names the One Condition PSG Must Meet for Him to Accept Technical Role

-
Arsene Wenger is happy to take up a senior role at Paris Saint-Germain, but will only do so if the French champions get rid of their current sporting director, Antero Henrique.

Wenger travelled to Qatar last week to meet with Sheikh Al Thani, a member of the Qatari royal family which owns PSG. He has also met with manager Thomas Tuchel, who is keen for the Frenchman to come on board.

However,  Paris United reports that Wenger will not accept the position unless PSG dispenses with the services of Henrique, who does not get on well with Tuchel.
PSG are prepared to offer Wenger a role above Henrique in the club hierarchy, but Wenger's demands are non-negotiable, giving club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi a difficult decision to make.

Al-Khelaifi doesn't want to anything which might disrupt PSG's start to the season. Tuchel's side has won all 13 Ligue 1 matches so far, although they sit 3rd in their Champions League group behind  Napoli and  Liverpool.

PSG must act quickly if they want to appoint Wenger though, as a man of his knowledge and experience will not be available for long.

AC Milan,  Real Madrid and the United States national team have all taken an interest in appointing Wenger, and  Bayern Munich approached him about taking a technical position at the Allianz Arena.

Wenger has not ruled out a return to management and turned down the Fulham job this week before the Cottagers appointed Claudio Ranieri to replace Slavisa Jokanovic.

Wenger promised when he left  Arsenal at the end of last season that he would not manage another Premier League team, but he is open to taking a job in Europe.

Messi's €700 million release clause Won't Scare Bigger Clubs

Barcelona corporate director Pancho Schroder concedes Lionel Messi's huge buyout clause may not be enough to frighten off big spenders. The Argentine maestro put a halt to speculation he could leave the Catalan giants by signing a contract extension until 2021 in November, with the deal including a €700 million release clause. But Schroder told Sky Sports: "We have established a clause that we consider sufficient for Messi to retire at Barcelona, but, having said that, a year ago we thought that Neymar's clause was also good enough to keep him and last summer it proved that it was not so. "Looking to the future, I think it's difficult, but I don't have a crystal ball and now things are getting a little crazy."
