Luis Campos makes Chelsea sporting director intentions clear as Lionel Messi transfer plan set

Paris Saint-Germain advisor Luis Campos has given an update on his future amid interest from Chelsea. The Portuguese transfer guru has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as Todd Boehly looks to bolster his boardroom staff.

According to The Times, the American billionaire has held talks with Campos regarding the Blues' sporting director vacancy. The 58-year-old is currently working as an advisor for both PSG and Celta Vigo on a freelance contract.

The report states that there is a clause in Campos' deal with the Parisians which prevents him from working 'in parallel' with another 'big club'. And, in order in order for him to exclusively work with Chelsea, he must pay buyout the remainder of his contract at PSG.

However, a one-way ticket on the Eurostar to London St Pancras railway station now looks to be off the cards with Campos ruling out a move away from Paris. Speaking to RMC Sport, he committed his future to Les Parc des Princes.

"I have a three-year deal here at PSG, as I wanted, and I've joined this club because I'm convinced we can do something extraordinary," Campos said. "I've the right energy to fight for PSG and do something great here."

Campos continued by addressing the future of Neymar, who was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea in the summer. He said: "Neymar is a very good player.

"He arrives on time all the time, he hasn't missed a training session, except one for a small injury. Neymar is involved in the team and club project."

Then, when questioned on the future of Messi, Campos explained how he and the Argentine will enjoy - at least - the next three years together in the French capital. He said: "I asked Messi if he wanted to stay and I told him that I hope that he will stay here during my tenure here [3 years]. I’m very satisfied with Leo."
