Since the successive departures of Neymar, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, PSG has decided to put an end to its galactic policy. Luis Campos is no stranger to this new strategy which allowed the capital club to finally win their holy grail – the Champions League – last season. And it’s not over yet!
This Monday on the sidelines of the 50e anniversary of the Rouges et Bleus training center, the QSI sports advisor hammered home his credo, as relayed by L’Equipe: “ No longer need to go to the market to spend large sums “. With the long-term ambition of building “ a Parisian team
“. The regional pool lends itself to this, it is true.
“ Just because we go to the supermarket a lot doesn’t make us a good cook. », slips the experienced talent hunter with mischief. “ PSG is attentive to all major opportunities but we are not going to stack players or endanger the club’s economy “. Especially since the economic situation requires players in football more than ever to diversify their resources.
A satellite club under study
To do this, Luis Campos recommends an accentuated investment in youth. Where the former sports director of PSG, Antero Henrique, had removed the reserve team in 2019. “ We need to put in place a more competitive frameworksays the Portuguese.
If French clubs take the U23 championship seriously, that will allow us to move forward. It is invisible to many people but very important to us. Getting young people to play will be good for French football. »
Another solution for PSG in this vision of post-training, the opportunity of a satellite club. “ We are currently studying solutions. It’s not easy. We can’t rush », confides Luis Campos, who therefore does not rule out this option. A real prospect for a club which to date already has a partnership with Braga, but is clearly thinking of taking a new step in its nugget factory.
