Exclusive | Antero Henrique favourite to replace Luís Campos in case of sporting director’s PSG exit | OneFootball

Luís Campos is the architect of a Paris Saint-Germain squad that is one step away from making the final of the UEFA Champions League. Signings made since his arrival as sporting director in 2022 – the likes of Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Vitinha, and João Neves – are playing a starring role in PSG’s success both in Europe and domestically, with Luis Enrique’s side having already wrapped up the Ligue 1 title.

However, whilst the Spanish manager resolved his future back in February, signing a contract renewal that runs until 2027, the future of Campos remains uncertain. Get French Football News understands that whilst talks with the Portuguese director are ongoing, the more time elapses, the less likely he is to sign a renewal, with his contract up at the end of the season. Luis Enrique has expressed a wish for Campos to remain at PSG beyond the end of the season, however, the more time passes, the less chance there is of that wish being realised.

Back to the future at PSG?

GFFN also understands that, in the event of Campos leaving PSG, a former director could be in line to take the job – Antero Henrique, who previously held the sporting director job between 2017 and 2019 and who retained a standing and an influence at the Ligue 1 club beyond his mandate. Henrique would potentially be the favourite to replace his compatriot and is very interested in a return to PSG with the potential for an opening in the coming weeks.
