Luis Campos breaks silence on Julian Alvarez speculation
On the social media platform, Campos articulated his philosophy: « Those genuinely prepared to give their absolute all for this project, for this esteemed club, will find their way to Paris. We seek individuals who cherish the beautiful game, who derive joy from playing alongside their teammates, who embrace the rigorous demands of training and the coach, and who appreciate the allure of the City of Light, supported by dedicated management – far more than they value mere financial gain. It is not money that dictates football; it is football that dictates. Excel on the pitch, revel in the experience, fight with heart and soul for this jersey, and trophies will inevitably follow. Only then, naturally, comes the financial reward. This is the culture of merit. »

Character is a crucial hallmark of this squad. »
