L’Equipe discusses the management of PSG’s summer transfer window between Luis Enrique, Nasser al-Khelaïfi, and Luis Campos, highlighting the complexities surrounding Marco Verratti’s departure.
Marco Verratti left PSG, but he could have stayed. According to L’Equipe, there were some disagreements. Luis Enrique was not entirely convinced about parting ways with the Italian midfielder, but he was eventually persuaded by various arguments, including financial concerns, lifestyle-related worries, and potential negative influences in the locker room.
Marco Verratti was eventually transferred to Qatar, as Paris struggled to finalize a deal for a potential replacement like Bernardo Silva.
Another sensitive issue was Kylian Mbappé. Nasser al-Khelaïfi took direct control of the situation after the famous letter. However, according to L’Equipe, Luis Campos took the opposite approach, believing it would be challenging to maintain threats over the long term.
Nasser al-Khelaïfi eventually softened his stance in August, “a reversal that bolstered Campos in the eyes of ‘NAK’ and also led the two Lui’s to come closer together.” The trio appears to be functioning well, for now.
