According to Le Parisien, PSG Director Luis Campos is now aiming to leave Paris following interest from Newcastle and Chelsea.
Why is Luis Campos aiming to leave PSG?
Well, the Portuguese transfer expert – described as the wizard of capital gains for his superb work at Lille – was only hired by PSG back in June following a revamp, which involved Mauricio Pochettino being replaced by Christophe Galtier.
It came after Tutto Mercato Web claimed that Campos wanted to be hired by Newcastle following the Saudi Arabian takeover, although the Magpies eventually pinched Dan Ashworth from Brighton.
Now, the 58-year-old wants to leave PSG as both he and Kylian Mbappe grow disillusioned with life at the Parc des Princes.
In his one and only transfer window at the helm so far, Campos signed Fabian Ruiz, Nordi Mukiele, Carlos Soler, Renato Sanches and Hugo Ekitike, straying away from the policy of signing household names under Leonardo such as Neymar and Sergio Ramos.
These signings, under the guidance of Galtier, have helped PSG record an unbeaten start to the season, although there is still trouble in paradise by the sounds of it.
Chelsea could hire Campos after Newcastle rejection
Interestingly, today’s rumour about Campos comes just weeks after Todd Boehly offered him the chance to become the new Director of Football for his project at Chelsea.
According to Ben Jacobs, Chelsea also aren’t giving up on Michael Edwards following his departure from Liverpool.
The American is attempting to lay down foundations underneath Graham Potter, and according to Le Parisien, offered Campos a yearly salary of £7m to join him at Stamford Bridge.
Boehly also supposedly promised the Portuguese transfer expert a budget of £260m to work with.
That is an extremely tempting offer, and with Campos now said to be unhappy in Paris, we could see him work his magic in west London alongside Potter.
