PSG begin Kylian Mbappe's rebuild with Luis Campos 'set to join this week'

Paris Saint-Germain have already begun their expected rebuild just a day after Kylian Mbappe confirmed he would be extending his stay in the French capital.

Mbappe is understood to have made a number of demands in return for signing a three-year deal. He snubbed a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid to extend his PSG contract, with the Ligue 1 club pulling out all the stops to keep him.

One of the demands they accepted was to replace sporting director Leonardo. The Brazilian has spent three years in the role in his second spell as an executive at the Parc des Princes, though he has been blamed for a number of mistakes in the transfer market.

Those mistakes, combined with frequent embarrassing exits from the Champions League, have now cost him his job. And according to Le Parisien, PSG have lined up Luis Campos as his replacement as sporting director.

Campos is said to be 'close' to Mbappe and his family, and is set to be given control of PSG's sporting strategy. Among his responsibilities will be transfers and any work done at the club's Camp des Loges training ground.

PSG are hoping that the Portuguese executive can bring about a revolution amongst the squad's mentality. Lateness, leaks to the press and 'incompatible' behaviour has all been cited as being behind the desire to change.

Campos' purview over transfers will potentially leave any talks opened by Leonardo 'dead in the water'. The move to sack Leonardo will likely delight Mbappe, who is not thought to have had a positive relationship with PSG's now former sporting director.

Mbappe will also be pleased to reconnect with Campos, with the duo previously working together at Monaco. During their time at Stade Louis II, the pair helped the Monégasques to win
