Campos's first signing of the summer was Portuguese midfielder Vitinha, in a transfer worth €41.5 million. On 5 July 2022, Christophe Galtier replaced Mauricio Pochettino as the club's head coach. The signing of which lended a lot of credibility to the club/s new policy of no "bling-bling". This was stated by the club's president at a presentation for the new head coach.
On 17 July the club confirmed the signing of Hugo Ekitike initially on a loan deal, which included a clause for a permanent transfer to the club. The signing was quickly followed by reports that club were now free to pursue alternative targets in a focused manner, specifically reaching out for players from the Paris region.
