Arriving during the summer of 2022 at Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Campos replaced sporting director Leonardo but with a specific role of “football advisor”. And a report that questions some. The rumor of a departure returned this summer but it is still present and an extension has even been mentioned. The Team went around the file this Thursday.
« The parties have not yet definitively agreed on their willingness to expand cooperation. »
“Discussions began several weeks ago, but an agreement is not yet close. Several conditions must be met, on both sides, to decide to proceed. The parties have, for example, not yet agreed with certainty on their willingness to extend cooperation.
At the start of the year, several areas of friction emerged between Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Campos, to the point that the latter's departure was discussed. “It’s simply the people who want to come between us who are spreading these kinds of rumors,” we respond on the Portuguese side.
« The Portuguese has specific requests that the club will have to accept or not. »
Internally, however, the sports advisor does not enjoy a very flattering reputation. His relationship with several employees is delicate, notably that with Victoriano Melero, recently promoted to general manager.
The negotiation is launched and all parties will try to make their voices heard to conclude the best possible agreement. The Portuguese has specific requests that the club will have to accept or not. »
We remain wary of rumors, there is a lot of noise for little concrete. Here, we can note that there are ultimately quite few clear elements. Except that the contract extension is clearly not signed.
But above all we see that Campos and PSG would not even be sure of wishing to continue together, with just then comments which deny the idea of a departure. So where is the sports newspaper located? Does he know to what extent both parties still want to collaborate or not?
Above all, we hope for clear information from the club soon. This is to know how the project is shaping up. It could well be with Campos, except that it is not a given.
