PSG Sporting Director Denies Interest in Porto’s Rising Star, Backs Home-Grown Talent

Paris Saint-Germain’s sporting director Luis Campos has put an end to speculation surrounding the club’s alleged interest in Porto FC’s young prodigy Rodrigo Mora. In a recent interview, Campos emphatically stated that the rumors were “completely false,” shifting the focus to PSG’s own rising star, Senny Mayulu.

Despite Mora’s rapid ascent in Portuguese football, making his professional debut this season and quickly becoming a regular fixture in Porto’s lineup, Campos insists that PSG’s attention remains on nurturing their own talent. “In Paris, we love Mayulu,” Campos declared, highlighting the club’s commitment to developing players from within their ranks.

The 17-year-old Mora has been turning heads with his performances, leading many to speculate about potential moves to larger European clubs. However, PSG, despite their history of recruiting from the Portuguese market, appear content with their current roster of young talent.

This statement from Campos not only quashes transfer rumors but also sends a clear message about PSG’s strategy moving forward. By emphasizing their faith in Mayulu, the club demonstrates its intention to balance star signings with the promotion of home-grown talent, potentially signaling a shift in their approach to team building.
