Within Campos& #39; 7 years as a Director of Football, he has generated in the region of £400,000,000 (NET) for Monaco FC and LOSC Lille, absolutely amazing figures that will only increase over the next couple of windows.
Despite this offloading of some players at Lille, there’s still an abundance of talent and a lot of value still left in the squad which could be offloaded this coming summer due to the likes of; Bamba, Ikone, Sanches, David, Yazici and Soumare hitting top form this season.
Luis Campos has brought what he did at Monaco to Lille and now they’re currently sitting in 2nd in the league, 2 points off the top of the Ligue 1 table and they sit top of a tough Europe League group with AC Milan and Celtic being in the same group.
Who knows how much profit will be made by Lille over the next couple of transfers windows, but one thing is for sure, Luis Campos is doing another amazing job, and who knows where and what he’ll do next but for sure it will turn to gold for him once again.
