Luís Campos writing book about his time at PSG
Luís Campos writing book about his time at PSG As revealed by RMC Sport show After Foot, Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luís Campos is writing a book that will include anecdotes of his last three years at the Ligue 1 side. Advertisement The book, written by Campos himself, will be about his time with PSG, which began back in 2022. The former AS Monaco and Lille OSC sporting director has instilled a new philosophy at the club, which has entailed moving away from the big-name stars. Since his arrival, there has been more of a focus on homegrown talents in France more generally, as well as those coming through the academy. However, there have still been some big-money arrivals from abroad, notably Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who arrived from Napoli in January, and João Neves, who arrived in the summer. During his time in Paris, Les Parisiens have been dominant on the domestic scene, recently wrapping up their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title, whilst they are also on the verge of reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in back-to-back seasons. The news of Campos writing a book coincides with questions surrounding his future at PSG. His contract with the club expires at the end of the season. Talks over a renewal are ongoing, L'Équipe understands, however, as reported by RMC Sport, there is yet to be a breakthrough in those talks. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Luís Campos' contract situation causing tension at PSG
Luís Campos has yet to extend his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. With the Portuguese sporting director's contract up at the end of the season, the situation is causing tensions at the club, according to . There had been hope at PSG that the extensions of Campos and Luis Enrique would be made simultaneously. The latter's extension has now been confirmed but an agreement with the former is still some way off. Campos wants to extend but has become increasingly frustrated in recent weeks with the lack of progress. He would like a quick conclusion, however, there is, for now, a gap between the sporting director and PSG regarding the salary. Meanwhile, multiple reports have come out linking Campos with roles at Arsenal, Chelsea, and the Saudi Arabian Football Federation. The latter have denied Le Parisien's report, in which a €200m offer was touted. Les Parisiens have perceived these recent links as a means of Campos applying pressure in order for negotiations to advance. According to L'Équipe, the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Liverpool may have a bearing on negotiations between PSG and their sporting director. Qualification at the expense of the Premier League leaders could see Campos' financial demands met but a loss could see PSG explore other options. Atletico Madrid's Andréa Berta is the priority target, although the Italian is highly coveted elsewhere too. Some sources have even evoked talks between Berta and Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
