Long before welcoming the Portuguese João Neves into his squad last summer, Luis Enrique had called for the arrival of Bruno Guimarães during the previous winter transfer window. But the Paris Saint-Germain coach encountered the refusal of advisor Luis Campos, who was well informed about the price of the Newcastle midfielder.
Between Luis Enrique and Luis Campos, it is no longer as fluid as before. Tensions emerged between the coach of Paris Saint-Germain and the sports advisor to President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. The two men apparently have disagreements over the management of the group, they who seemed to form an effective pair until this season. It is indeed this duo which draws the contours of the Parisian squad on the transfer market.
Luis Enrique voulait Bruno Guimarães
Luis Campos tries to meet the Spaniard’s demands, at least when possible. During the previous winter transfer window, a route proposed by Luis Enrique was deemed inaccessible financially. And for good reason, insider Djamel reveals the Parisian coach’s interest in Bruno Guimarães. Remember that at this time, Paris Saint-Germain was still suffering from a lack of creativity in the midfield. The former Spain coach had already identified the technical limitations of his summer recruit Manuel Ugarte. Luis Enrique saw himself instead lining up in Newcastle’s midfield in front of its defense. Except that Luis Campos immediately cooled him down.
-Because of the price of the Brazilian international, namely 118 million euros, the sports advisor had asked his coach to forget this far too expensive file. Some rumors still spoke of a possible arrival of the ex-Olympique Lyonnais player last summer, when his release clause had expired. But ultimately, Paris Saint-Germain decided to offer João Neves for 70 million euros (bonus included). And given the Portuguese’s performances since the start of the season, Luis Enrique has no reason to regret this choice.
