Luís Campos’ contract situation causing tension at PSG | OneFootball

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 L’Équipe.

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.

Liverpool tie could be pivotal

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.
