The departure of Kylian Mbappé from PSG, confirmed by the club in an unofficial statement in mid-February, could lead to another departure, that of Luis Campos. The sports advisor, signed two years ago due to his closeness with the captain of the French team, is increasingly away from the Parisian team, after having failed to retain the club’s star and after more and more supporters of his dismissal.
Campos has little by little lost influence at PSG. Signed just after Mbappé’s renewal was confirmed, for two seasons and another optional one, not executed by the player, the Portuguese had full powers in his first season in the French capital. He signed Galtier as coach, while Qatar wanted Zidane, and had a somewhat irregular market, since the season ended with a Ligue 1 title and two eliminations in the round of 16 of the French Cup and the Champions respectively. .
Once a complicated season was over, Campos’ full powers began to dissipate. Qatar, this time, unlike in 2022, decided to sign Luis Enrique, a decision in which the sports advisor had little or nothing to do with. In fact, in the summer, just when Mbappé was ruled out, he was one step away from leaving, since the Qatari leaders, in addition to the disappointment of not having convinced him to renew, criticized him for his closeness to Jorge Mendes and the number of transfers that the influential Portuguese agent entered the French capital.
Although Luis Campos’ intention is to continue in Paris, feeling capable of continuing to develop the project, the former Celta player, as indicated by L’Équipe, is aware that they signed him for Mbappé and his talent for recruiting was left in the background. . With a contract until 2025, in France there are fewer and fewer who dare to affirm that it will continue from June. The departure of the French forward marks the beginning of a new era in the French capital, and in it, right now, there is no glimpse of a future with Campos.
The Portuguese’s relationship with Luis Enrique, however, is cordial. The Asturian coach has reiterated throughout the season that he “is in permanent contact” with Luis Campos and that “his work is being magnificent.” In January, in fact, the man from Gijon thanked him for the signings of Beraldo and Moscardo, two Brazilian pearls. The first is currently a starter in Paris and the second will land in the summer as one of the midfielders with the most future in South American football.
The last word, as in everything that concerns PSG, goes to Qatar, which, for the moment, is not satisfied with the work of Luis Campos, who could be dismissed once Kylian Mbappé’s departure is formalized. Bondy’s star is leaving, mainly, because of Al Khelaïfi’s unfulfilled promises when he renewed his contract in May 2022, not because he did not get along with Campos on a sporting level.
