No talks between Man Utd and Luis Campos – Fabrizio Romano | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos is reportedly on the radar of several top European clubs, with rumours swirling that he will leave the French champions this summer.

However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Campos is not negotiating with Manchester United as earlier reports had claimed. There are no active talks between the two parties.

Campos, a former scout at Real Madrid, is one of the most experienced directors in football. He built the AS Monaco and LOSC Lille squads that toppled PSG in Ligue 1 before joining the Parisians.

The Portuguese transfer chief has built manager Luis Enrique a stellar squad that has clinched the domestic double and remains in the frame for the UEFA Champions League.

Unsurprisingly, his excellent work has caught the attention of several European giants, but it appears Man Utd are not in talks with Campos.

Man Utd parted ways with Dan Ashworth five months into his role as sporting director. The club fought tooth and nail to take him from Newcastle United but let him go unceremoniously.

Others have shared his workload, but Man Utd will need to bring in someone to fill Ashworth’s position.

There were tenuous Campos links to Chelsea. However, the Blues are (inexplicably) satisfied with the work of Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley. They are not looking at Campos.

Given the recent missteps both Man United and Chelsea have made in the transfer market, it is remarkable that neither club appears to be pushing hard for Campos.

United have failed to establish a clear recruitment identity, buying players who do not fit into their puzzle.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have spent heavily but incoherently, assembling a bloated squad that lacks balance and cohesion.

Campos has proven his ability to build title-winning teams with vision and efficiency, qualities both clubs desperately need.

Whether through arrogance or oversight, ignoring a proven architect like Campos could be yet another costly error.

If footballing logic prevailed, both clubs should be at the front of the queue for his signature.
