Mbappe and Luis Campos both reject Real Madrid to team up at PSG for these crucial reasons
Both were linked with a move to the Bernabeu.
Both Kylian Mbappe and Luis Campos were expected to play together at Real Madrid next season, but they will instead play for Paris Saint-Germain.
They had the intention and desire to be at Real Madrid as recently as the weekend of May 13 to May 15. However, by Friday, May 20, the player had already decided to stay at PSG.
It's critical to go over all of the details in order to grasp the main points of this story.
Real Madrid's relationship with Luis Campos
Luis Campos had been assisting Real Madrid on behalf of Florentino Perez had been assisting Real Madrid has been trying to sign Mbappe for nearly two years.
Campos and Perez have known each other since 2012, when Campos was a member of Jose Mourinho's coaching staff, first as an analyst and scout for young talent and then as an assistant.
When Mourinho took over at Porto, the club met with both men on the same day before choosing 'The Special One,' but both men have always maintained great respect for each other, which is why Mourinho wanted Campos with him at Real Madrid.
Campos has coached more modest sides in the Portuguese top flight, but he has now established an excellent reputation for his recruitment work.
Mbappe's relationship with Luis Campos
Campos has known Mbappe and his family since he was 14 years old, when the forward "dreamed" of playing for Real Madrid and was a fan of the club.
Mbappe was in the Monaco youth team at the time, and Dmitry Rybolovlev had brought Campos into the club's sporting department.
Campos made a crucial intervention in the young Mbappe's team at the time, which Mbappe recounts in his comic book.
As a result of that episode, the player, the director, and Mbappe's mother formed a friendship and trusting relationship that has lasted to this day. He is a family friend as well as a spiritual and sporting advisor.
This leads us to to the photos that come at the top of this article, which date from March 8, from a private dinner the night before Real Madrid's Champions League quarter-final match against PSG.
Campos had dinner with Mbappe's mother, Fayza Al-Amari, and a friend of hers in Madrid. The reason was simple: Campos and the Mbappe family have mutual trust.
That's why, from May 16 to May 20, Campos was one of the few people who went to Mbappe's house to advise him on his final decision, despite the fact that Mbappe had been in Qatar on the Monday of that week for a publicity event for the club in the state that finances the team.
Mbappe's surprise decision Mbappe decided at the last minute, after receiving calls from Qatar's Emir, Nicolas Sarkozy, and Emmanuel Macron, to stay at PSG.
Personal patriotism triumphed over professional instincts. Given the similarity of the financial packages, it appears Mbappe made this decision for personal reasons.
Campos and Mbappe join forces at PSG.
Campos was not expected to stay at PSG, just as Mbappe was not expected to stay.
Perez had offered Campos a five-year contract as an external sports consultant for Real Madrid.
The plan was for Mbappe and Luis Campos to end up working for Real Madrid together: one on the field and the other in the office and the stands.
It should be noted that Campos made the decision not to devote himself solely to one club, as he desired to be an external professional.
Campos has long been admired by PSG, as the two teams other than PSG to win Ligue 1 in the last decade were Monaco and Lille, with Campos overseeing both clubs' sporting departments at the time.
Campos had already signed an external consultancy contract with Celta Vigo and made a moral commitment to Perez, but Nasser Al-Khelaifi hoped that the prestige of PSG, their economic potential, and the opportunity to be a part of their first Champions League victory would persuade Campos to accept this challenge.
This combination of prestige and ambition proved too much for the director.
However, Campos' collaboration with PSG was subject to three conditions. The first was for Perez to give his approval, which occurred when Campos spoke with the Real Madid president.
Another requirement was for guarantees of autonomy, and a third was for PSG to allow the director to work for Celta Vigo at the same time.
Campos is now working on the French club's sporting project after PSG agreed to all of this.
