Despite a double course in Spanish/Communication, I decided to take control of my dreams by heading into journalism. With a master's degree in sports journalism, I cover sports and football news with as much admiration for transfer periods, when a club must make crucial choices for next season.

If the sports advisor Luis Campos could therefore logically be singled out after €800 million in spending since his arrival at the club, the daily also underlines that Luis Enrique validated a good number of recruits who arrived at PSG during the last transfer windows, which therefore took on this responsibility at the level of its current workforce…
