PSG is reportedly considering parting ways with its sporting advisor, Luis Campos: an internal source at the club denied it, but L’Equipe persists and discusses issues surrounding his status.
Is Luis Campos, not being an official employee, difficult to dismiss? Rumors about his departure after the transfer window were denied by an internal PSG source, but L’Equipe insists that the sporting advisor could indeed be let go after the transfer window, starting in September.
Having arrived a year ago as a football advisor, and not as a sporting director, Luis Campos is not officially on the payroll.
This designation was mainly chosen for tax reasons, offering advantages to both PSG and Luis Campos. As an external service provider, Campos could invoice his services while maintaining few formal ties with the club. This approach also allowed him to continue working simultaneously for Celta de Vigo.
However, as the situation becomes tense, this tax arrangement could backfire on PSG. Luis Campos might seek to reclassify his contract as a fixed-term or permanent contract, which would oblige the club to pay taxes and social contributions on this substantial remuneration, as noted by L’Equipe.
