Luis Campos arrived at Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2022, replacing sporting director Leonardo, but with a special role as “soccer advisor”. His track record is a regular topic of debate, and rumours of a departure have been circulating for months, along with those of a contract extension. First Le Parisien, then confirmed by L’Equipe, confirm that the sports advisor did not attend his team’s 1-6 victory over Saint-Etienne (see here), due to the lengthy negotiations for his contract extension.

“It’s a rarity for Luis Campos”.
“It’s a rarity for Luis Campos. The Paris Saint-Germain sports consultant did not travel with the Parisian squad to Saint-Étienne on Saturday afternoon. Naturally, even before the match got underway, and given his habit of meeting Luis Enrique in the middle of the pitch, his absence raised a few eyebrows.
“A form of pressure? A decision that has not failed to intrigue internally”.
As reported by Le Parisien and confirmed by L’Équipe, the former Lille and Monaco sporting director was reluctant to join the Forez because of questions linked to his future. A form of pressure? A decision which has not failed to intrigue those inside the club. It has to be said that discussions between Luis Campos and his management are not progressing, despite the fact that the manager’s contract expires in June.
The climate is clearly complicated for Luis Campos. With three months to go before the end of his contract, there’s no transparency about his future. We’re not going to say that his absence is linked to all this, this Saturday evening against Saint-Etienne, but it’s true that the timing is questionable. We’d really like these details not to “spoil” the end of the season for the Parisian club.
There’s so much to do in such a short space of time, and all hands must be on deck to meet the challenges ahead. Perhaps Luis Campos was ill, or had a serious problem, and time will tell. That said, as long as this contract extension is still on the table, the media will continue to report on the capital club.
Confirmation : Campos n’a pas fait le déplacement !
Contacté, Luis Campos n’a pas répondu à la sollicitation de L’Equipe.
Le Portugais a demandé une revalorisation salariale assez importante !
Paris prend son temps !
