After two transfer windows deemed disappointing, Luis Campos knows he is expected at the turn this summer. But once again, the Paris Saint-Germain sports adviser is not immune to criticism because of his close ties with agent Jorge Mendes.
Known for the quality of his network, his skills and his closeness to Kylian Mbappé, Luis Campos looked like the ideal candidate to manage the sports sector of Paris Saint-Germain. Almost a year later, it is clear that the adviser has not met expectations. Like the flops Carlos Soler and Hugo Ekitike, his first two transfer windows did not strengthen the workforce. Hence the disappointment of agent Hervé Marchal who knew the Portuguese well during his time at AS Monaco.
Campos disappoints at PSG
” I thought that with him, PSG would succeed in building a real collective, a bit like Manchester City which is not a team based only on starscommented the representative contacted by 20 Minutes. But the whole lacked coherence, this is where he failed in his bet. It is perhaps also due to the Parisian context, to the management of the Qatari leadership. “Or the stubbornness of Luis Campos to work with Jorge Mendes. Vitinha, Renato Sanches and now Marco Asensio as well as Manuel Ugarte… All are managed by the Portuguese agency Gestifute. Something to annoy his counterparts.
Transfer amount: €40m, excluding bonuses. Even if the bonuses are activated, the transfer will not reach 45M€. https://t.co/84n7LxE3BU

” He is baddropped an experienced agent. Ugarte at that price (60 M€), when we have Khéphren Thuram or other top players in France? You have to explain to me. There are some really weird things going on, and you don’t have to be an agent for 20 years to realize that. I can call 50 times for players, he won’t even look at them. Which was not the case with Antero Henrique. He’s a charmer, a seller, a buyer, but a guy who wants to know what’s going on in the market. We can discuss with him. Not with Luis Campos. “Proof that the Parisian adviser has reduced his repertoire.
