Paris Saint-Germain are embracing a new approach, moving away from signing high-profile stars under the guidance of sporting advisor Luis Campos. However, other clubs’ growing interest could challenge PSG’s hold on Campos.
During his three seasons in Paris, Campos has successfully brought in young talents like Vitinha, Bradley Barcola, and João Neves. Before joining PSG, he enjoyed a strong track record with AS Monaco and LOSC Lille.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is in the market for a new sporting director after Edu Gaspar’s departure earlier this month. According to TBR Football, intermediaries have presented Arsenal with several potential candidates, including respected German football figure Simon Rolfes.
Another option is Roberto Olabe, who is stepping down from his role at Real Sociedad. The report also mentions Campos as a possible target.
Luis Campos is indeed on Arsenal’s radar
Football Transfer’s Robin Bairner reported on Sunday that Campos has been approached by Arsenal to take over from Edu. The Gunners are searching for a new sporting director after Edu stepped down earlier this month to join Nottingham Forest’s multi-club network.
Campos is a potential candidate as his three-year contract expires at the end of this season. PSG and club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi have expressed interest in extending Campos’ deal, but despite ongoing discussions, no agreement has been reached.
Arsenal’s interest in Campos is driven by manager Mikel Arteta, who is expected to play a key role in selecting Edu’s successor.
