Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Very active on the Portuguese market, Luis Campos rarely misses the emergence of a phenomenon. This is how the PSG sports advisor tried to recruit Geovany Quenda (17 years old) this summer. An offer of €45M would even have been sent to Sporting CP. In vain since the young Portuguese winger’s release clause is now set at €100 million. A transfer which would make Quenda the biggest sale in the history of the Lisbon club.
This summer again, Luis Campos went to draw from the pool of the Portuguese championship. This time it is Joao Neves who signed up with PSG who dropped around €60M, as well as €10M in bonuses, to convince Benfica to let go of their young midfielder, a year after having already sold Gonçalo Ramos in Paris. Vitinha (FC Porto) or encore Manuel Ugarte (Sporting CP) are other examples of recent transfers from a Portuguese club to the PSG. And another name was almost added to the list this summer.
PSG fails, it’s €100M for Quenda
Indeed, according to information from And she wasthe PSG attempted to secure the services of Geovany Turnyoung winger of Sporting CP. Very well positioned on the Portuguese market, Luis Campos tried to use his network to secure the signature of the 17-year-old phenomenon and thus got ahead of the competition by anticipating his emergence which took place at the start of the season. Thus, PSG sent an offer of €45M to the Sporting CP. An amount which corresponds to the old release clause of Geovany Turn who signed a new contract at the beginning of the summer. Now linked until 2027 with the Lisbon club, the Portuguese crack has a release clause largely revised upwards and set at €100M. The same as that of Viktor Gyokeres.
The most expensive transfer in Sporting history?
The PSG is therefore fixed. To recruit Geovany Turnit will be necessary to pay €100M and face competition from English clubs, now on the lookout in this matter. A significant sum since it would make the young right winger the most expensive player sold by the Sporting CP. A record which currently belongs to Bruno Fernandes who had joined Manchester United for €65M in 2019. But the PSG is also well placed in this ranking since Manuel Ugarte (60M€) and Nuno Mendes (38M€) are respectively the second and sixth biggest sales in the history of Sporting. Perhaps not for very long since according to And she wasthe Lisbon club is already convinced that Geovany Turn will be his next very big transfer.
