Luis Campos, PSG’s sporting advisor, is set to extend his contract, according to Le Parisien.
He will not be a casualty of Mbappé’s departure. According to Le Parisien, Luis Campos is expected to renew his contract. The Portuguese advisor « has managed to overcome the opposition, though not without controversy. Criticized for his close ties with super-agent Jorge Mendes, his fiery personality, and a division between sports and administration that some find too rigid, he has been confirmed in his role for the upcoming season. »
The decision reportedly comes from the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani. Campos is now working calmly on the next transfer window, with Matvey Safonov as a potential new signing: « According to initial information about the future ex-goalkeeper of Krasnodar, the Portuguese advisor had targeted him long ago according to his known methodology. From Russian sources, Luis Enrique called Matvey Safonov last week to detail his expectations. »
« They Don’t Agree on Everything, » but It’s Working
Moreover, relations with Luis Enrique are reportedly going well. « Both publicly and privately, the two men continually praise each other’s work. While they don’t agree on everything all the time, they work hand in hand, finding many points of convergence, » says Le Parisien.
« A few weeks ago, Luis Campos’ position was not guaranteed. Cold with some of the club’s executives or those in its close orbit—particularly a frosty relationship with Antero Henrique—his associates also described him as exhausted by the ‘grinding machine’ that PSG is sometimes compared to. »
