The recruit of the summer of 2022. A little over a year ago, Paris Saint-Germain decided to call on Luis Campos. Close to Kylian Mbappé, the Portuguese had to bring his experience in recruitment. Appointed football advisor to PSG, the man with a full address book had the first mission of finding a new coach after the departure of Mauricio Pochettino. When Doha was campaigning for Zinedine Zidane, Campos maneuvered to place Christophe Galtier, with whom he worked in Lille. If Paris therefore followed its advisor, its choice turned out to be an error.
His management of his first two Parisian transfer windows (summer 2022, winter 2023) was also very complicated. He failed to recruit a central defender, he who insisted for a long time with Inter for Milan Skriniar (finally arrived free this summer, editor’s note). In the tough, Campos also had to manage the KM7 file this summer. And he didn’t really get wet. Which irritated internally. Several media have also explained that he was in an ejection seat or that he could slam the door if the French international were to leave. But Luis Campos is still there.
Luis Campos was reinforced
And he’s not leaving anytime soon. This is what is announced The Parisian this Wednesday morning. PSG wants to continue to move forward hand in hand with the man whose contract ends in 2025. If everything has not been perfect since his arrival, Luis Campos led a summer transfer window in 2023 which pleased his leaders , notably to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. The two men were said coldly. Finally, they became closer and worked together on several files according to the French media. NAK was also very happy with the work done in terms of downsizing with the departures of undesirable players or elements with high salaries.
The Parisian president therefore comforted him and assured him that he was counting on him. Luis Campos can therefore move forward calmly. Especially since he maintains excellent relations with Luis Enrique. Unlike Galtier, he did not choose the coach. But the two men are on the same page and both work hard. A marriage that is working wonderfully for the moment. Despite criticism of his relationship with Jorge Mendes, many of whose players he placed in the capital, Luis Campos was able to convince PSG to continue with him.
