More and more challenged at PSG, Luis Campos worries the capital club which could pay dearly for his link with the Portuguese adviser.

The Campos method, so effective in Monaco or Lille, took the lead in the wing in Paris. Supported in spite of himself by Antero Henrique last year, the Lusitanian supervisor, once a great talent scout, finds himself supplanted today by the cumbersome Jorge Mendes, a players’ agent who plays on his proximity to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi to walk cheerfully on its flowerbeds.

Given the turn of the Paris transfer window and the personal investment of the aforementioned Qatari president in the latest files, Luis Campos is certainly in the hot seat. Especially since he would represent a threat to PSG, in the more or less short term, according to L’Equipe. Simple adviser in his status, not integrated into the red and blue organization chart, the Portuguese is not an employee of the club. Paid on invoices, the interested party as the Parisian direction find there a not insignificant tax advantage. A practice nevertheless questionable in view of the links between the two parties.

A contract that could be expensive

The French administration could thus look into the file and impose the requalification of this collaboration into an employment contract. “It’s quite common if she (the administration, editor’s note) feels that there is a link of legal subordination between Luis Campos and PSG, and that his work is carried out for the most part on the premises of PSG, underlines a tax lawyer with the sports daily. In this specific case, it could consider him directly as an employee since he exercises the same function as his predecessor Leonardo, without having the same title. »

In such a case, the Monegasque resident that is Luis Campos, also solicited by Celta Vigo in Spain, would be taxed in France, but it is above all the PSG which would lose big in the case, by paying social contributions. due, with possible additional penalties. Such a requalification would also allow Luis Campos to claim accounts in Paris in the event of a divorce. A scenario far from improbable at this time.
