Former AS Monaco football chief Luis Campos is being linked with Newcastle United.
Sky Sports says Campos is one of several names under consideration to become Newcastle's new sporting director.
Only two teams other than Paris Saint-Germain have won the French League title in the past nine years - and the common factor between them is Campos.
Newcastle's new owners have riches beyond most other clubs' dreams, but they have made it abundantly clear they want to run their new business in a sustainable way.
While taking Monaco and Lille to the top in France, Campos also made huge profits on player sales - more than £500m in only four years.
