Man Utd hopes dashed as PSG tie down transfer guru Luis Campos to long-term deal with even bigger role controlling Champions League finalists

Qatar Sports Investment (QSI) released an official statement confirming Luis Campos's contract extension by an additional five years, securing the Portuguese's services until 2030. This marks the end to Manchester United's plan to bring Campos to Old Trafford.

The sporting director has been given more freedom to oversee investments and sports strategy, including their minority stake in Portugal-based club Sporting Braga. He will also be responsible for identifying other multi-club football, sports and talent properties for QSI to invest in, as well as scouting, recruitment, and all matters related to sports talent across the Group.

In QSI's official statement, Campos said: “I am delighted to continue my story with QSI to 2030. We can be very proud of how we have transformed the clubs, companies, projects and ethos within our Group over the last three years, and I truly believe this is only the beginning of our successes. I thank Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi for this full support of me and all our staff; and also for his great vision that drives the QSI Group’s unprecedented success. I very much look forward to writing more history at QSI in the coming years.”

With Tottenham winning the Europa League all eyes are now set on PSG as they take on Inter in the Champions League final on 1 June 2025. Before that, PSG face Stade Reims in Coupe de France final on May 25.
