Luis Campos, Paris Saint-Germain’s football advisor, spoke to Ligue1+ before kickoff against Rennes this Sunday evening at Roazhon Park—the final match of Matchday 1 of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season. It was an opportunity to take stock of the transfer market, covering both potential new signings and the possible departures of Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward) and Ibrahim Mbaye (18-year-old forward).
Luis Campos: “The transfer window is far from over.”
What is the status of PSG’s transfer activity? Are more signings possible? Are Mbaye and Barcola close to leaving?
It is a very difficult transfer window—as they all are during a World Cup year—because the rules are slightly different. Some teams buy immediately before the World Cup, and then there is a second transfer window that opens after the tournament, involving price inflation compared to the first phase.
The transfer window is far from over; it remains open. You mentioned Barcola and Mbaye; we’ll see what happens by the end of the window. As for arrivals, if an opportunity arises, we will take it. I would remind you of the Donnarumma deal, which was finalized very late last year.
“It is important to defend the PSG institution.”
Is there any progress regarding Barcola’s situation?
I understand your question. For the moment, I cannot answer. It is important to defend the PSG institution.
