In an unexpected turn, Luis Campos, the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) sporting director, addressed the club’s interest in signing Julian Alvarez from Atlético Madrid. The Portuguese executive, typically reserved on social media, broke his silence when a PSG fan publicly urged him on platform X to finalize the deal for the Argentine forward.

Rather than dismissing the inquiry, Campos acknowledged the possibility of adding Alvarez to the squad—but only under specific conditions. His response outlined the qualities and mindset required for a player to thrive at PSG, emphasizing that ambition, dedication, and passion for the game matter more than financial incentives.

In a detailed statement, Campos highlighted the club’s values, stating that players who are fully committed to the project, the club’s culture, and the collective vision will find a home at Parc des Princes. « Those willing to give everything for this project and this club will come to Paris. Those who want to enjoy playing beautiful football with teammates, training rigor, and the coach’s expectations—while also embracing the magic of the City of Light and the backing of a forward-thinking leadership—will succeed. At PSG, football comes first, not money. Talent, hard work, and dedication to the jersey will bring titles. And yes, financial rewards will follow as part of that culture of merit. »

Campos also used the moment to share his mindset ahead of the Champions League final, reflecting the club’s steady confidence. « We are in top form, stress-free, and fully trusting our players, coach, and staff who work tirelessly to make PSG stronger every day.
