Il Messaggero have reported that Lille sporting director Luis Campos has emerged as the favorite to become the new sporting director of Roma. Reportedly, the Giallorossi are working on bringing the Portuguese director to the capital and pairing him with current sporting director Ricky Massara. The decision comes after Campos was recommended by Franco Baldini, the always trusted advisor of Pallotta. Roma would also have to redefine what Totti’s role would be and understand if he would even accept.
