Just before their Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal, L’Equipe reports that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) considered Mikel Arteta for their manager role in 2023 after sacking Christophe Galtier.
Despite Arteta’s past playing for PSG, the interest reportedly didn’t go beyond initial discussions.
PSG ultimately appointed Luis Enrique, who has since led them to the Ligue 1 title and a potential quadruple.
PSG sources downplayed the interest, stating that Enrique was always their top choice.
The revelation adds intrigue to Wednesday’s crucial Champions League clash where PSG, leading 1-0, hosts Arteta’s Arsenal.
