Overview
- In a televised interview on RTP, Campos described using disguises, buying ordinary tickets and sitting away from presidential areas so players do not know they are being watched.
- Campos said he never speaks with players or their agents during initial observation to preserve authentic behaviour and bargaining positions.
- He employs multiple so-called “super scouts” who are kept from sharing notes so their independent reports do not influence each other.
- Campos detailed off-field psychological tests such as shared meals over several days and shopping trips to assess focus, temperament and a player’s relationship with money.
- The disclosures were presented as explanation for a long scouting track record that includes spells at Monaco and PSG and have so far been reported without club responses or wider debate about ethics or rules.
