French football journalist, Daniel Riolo has hit out at Paris Saint-Germain sporting director, Luis Campos after reports of forward Kylian Mbappe’s decision to leave the club at the end of his contract.
Riolo said that the main reason for Campos’ appointment was to keep Mbappe at PSG.
However, a year after Campos’s appointment, PSG are close to losing Mbappe and sacking manager Christophe Galtier.
Mbappe, who has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, reportedly handed in a letter confirming his decision not to renew his deal at the PSG when his contract expires in 2024.
Speaking on the development, Riolo told RMC Sport that Campos has failed in the main objective he was brought in for by the French Ligue 1 champions.
“It calls into question the work of Luis Campos, who came with the mission of keeping Mbappe and getting him to stay at the club,” Riolo said.
“A year later, when Campos is supposedly the man who must rebuild everything, with the underlying idea of pleasing Mbappe, the club receives the letter that the additional option no longer exists.”
He added, “It is a real shock (and Campos) is no longer a stone; he is a rock in the garden of Campos there! If I am the leader of PSG, I make a clear and clear decision: he is sold this summer.
“Might as well take what there is to take. You cannot keep a player when he tells you that he is in his last year. You have to send a strong message.”
