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. L’Equipe reported on Saturday that discussions are underway, but that they are complicated by a financial disagreement. Andrea Berta is being considered as a replacement.
Campos “would like to be set and quickly.”
The Portuguese, comfortable with his Parisian project and keen to extend his mission, would like to be fixed and quickly. However, the increasing number of reports of possible interest from major clubs in recent days has not gone unnoticed at the club. It is as if, in the minds of the decision-makers, Luis Campos wanted to speed up the timetable for negotiations and push the capital club’s directors to really lay their cards on the table.
Although no written proposal has been made to Luis Campos, contractual discussions have already begun. Paris still intend to extend their soccer advisor, but not under just any conditions. As things stand, there’s a definite financial gap between the two parties. If there are other blocking parameters, the stakes are there.
“Some sources suggest a direct exchange. The club denies this.
One shadow hangs over this dossier. That of Andréa Berta. The Italian, architect of the Atlético Madrid project for ten years, is a sought-after executive. His link with Nasser al-Khelaïfi – he was very close to joining PSG in 2017 – has never been denied. Some sources mention a direct exchange. Denied by the club.”
The main thing to come out of all this is that the dossier remains very vague. The sports paper does not announce either an extension or a departure. Everything remains possible as discussions continue. With each party preparing other options just in case. This is relatively logical.
On the PSG side, it would make sense to think about the renowned Andrea Berta. But there’s nothing definite either, and the paper mentions a “denial” from PSG. So it’s hard to know if there’s any progress at all. For the time being, we must remain cautious and patient.
The rumors continue without the slightest concrete element, and all doors remain open. Let’s hope for something more precise soon. These vague announcements quickly become tiresome.
