The book, written by Campos himself, will be about his time with PSG, which began back in 2022. The former AS Monaco and Lille OSC sporting director has instilled a new philosophy at the club, which has entailed moving away from the big-name stars. Since his arrival, there has been more of a focus on homegrown talents in France more generally, as well as those coming through the academy.
However, there have still been some big-money arrivals from abroad, notably Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who arrived from Napoli in January, and João Neves, who arrived in the summer. During his time in Paris, Les Parisiens have been dominant on the domestic scene, recently wrapping up their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title, whilst they are also on the verge of reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in back-to-back seasons.
The news of Campos writing a book coincides with questions surrounding his future at PSG. His contract with the club expires at the end of the season. Talks over a renewal are ongoing, L'Équipe understands, however, as reported by RMC Sport, there is yet to be a breakthrough in those talks.

Bayern Munich Ponder €80M Raid for Man Utd, Liverpool Target With PSG Sell-on Clause
PSG sold Xavi Simons to RB Leipzig earlier this year, resulting in Liverpool and Manchester United showing serious interest in the Dutch midfielder. Moreover, the deal included a sell-on clause, meaning PSG could cash in again if Leipzig decides to move him on. According to Fabrizio Romano, Leipzig paid €80 million total—€55 million up front—and Simons signed a deal through June 2027. Still, there's no certainty he'll see out that contract in Germany. Advertisement With the summer transfer window approaching, speculation around Simons' future is heating up. CaughtOffside reports that Manchester United may have the upper hand over City in the chase to land him. Could Bayern Munich beat Liverpool for former PSG ace?Fichajes reports that Bayern Munich view Xavi Simons as a strong fit for their plans, but RB Leipzig's asking price could be a major hurdle. The Red Bull-owned club, facing the setback of missing out on European competition, has already made Simons available for transfer. Leipzig are reportedly demanding around €80 million, which has forced Bayern Munich to think carefully about whether they're ready to commit to such a significant investment. Advertisement Simons' camp is reportedly watching Bayern Munich's next steps. While the interest from the Bavarian side is serious, any deal will likely hinge on potential departures from the squad—and whether deeper-pocketed clubs decide to make a move for the talented Dutchman. Empire of the Kop recently reported that Liverpool are preparing an opening bid of around €60 million ($67.8 million) for the Netherlands international playmaker, as Arne Slot aims to boost his attack for next season. However, despite Slot's desire to make this player his first summer signing, the offer will likely fall short. RB Leipzig are reportedly holding out for closer to €80 million ($90.4 million).
