Surviving his inaugural season at Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Campos faced scrutiny as all eyes monitored his reconstruction efforts at one of Europe’s most demanding clubs.
In his capacity as the lead football advisor for the French champions, Campos relieved manager Christophe Galtier of his duties and orchestrated the departure of Neymar. Additionally, he did not impede Lionel Messi’s exit.
Upon selecting Luis Enrique, his reported fourth choice to succeed Galtier, Campos embarked on the task of assembling a revamped squad.
Among his initial moves was securing Goncalo Ramos on a loan deal from Benfica, with an obligation to purchase, potentially costing Paris Saint-Germain up to €80m in the future. Despite not incurring any immediate expenses this summer, the financial commitment to Ramos raises questions.
On the surface, the decision appeared logical, considering the uncertainty surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s future and the imminent departures of Messi and Neymar.
A forward was deemed essential. However, the influx of attacking players during the transfer window, with six out of the 11 sanctioned signings falling into this category, presented a surplus, especially after Mbappe opted to stay.
Ramos now seems to be in the precarious position of being a spare part. The obligatory initial payment of €65m (£57m/$70m) feels like an avoidable financial burden, hinting that PSG, despite professing a more judicious approach to spending, still engage in occasional reckless investments.
This suggests their quest for a winning formula beyond France is ongoing and comes with financial challenges that will need addressing in the near future.
