The objective is to strengthen the squad in areas of the field that have been a problem during the last season and the position of center forward to accompany in the attack Lionel Messi y Kylian Mbappe No replacement options.
Although it is clear that the new technical director, Christophe Galtier, has the trident assured with Messi, Mbappé and Neymar, PSG does not have other guaranteed strikers. In fact, Angel Di Maria has already left the institution due to the end of his contract and now they are looking for a way out for Mauro Icardi, since it has been declared as one of the possible transfers. That leaves the team with few options on offense.
To do this, the plan of the new club adviser, Luis Campos, is to renew the attack with a young striker with a goal. There are two options that have been sounding for several weeks, but for which they have not yet accelerated. The first name that was mentioned to reinforce the PSG attack is Gianluca Scamaccastriker of Sassuolo of Serie A. Now, the favorite to be signed is Hugo Ekitike of Reims Stadium of Ligue 1 in France.
Scamacca was Luis Campos’ main option for the attack. However, as journalist Fabrizio Romano reported, Sassuolo is seeking a sum of €50 million to let out your figure. PSG, meanwhile, has no intention of paying more than 40 million euros, so the operation has cooled down. To this, always according to the information of the aforementioned journalist, has been added the interest of West Ham by the Italian attacker.
Meanwhile, Hugo Ekitike’s option begins to grow considerably. The striker had a contract with Newcastle, but this would have broken due to some physical problems of the footballer. Now, Paris Saint-Germain would launch in search of the signing of him. According to Goal France, Reims asks for a sum of 40 million euros to let their striker outwho comes from a season with 11 goals in 26 games played.
Thus, Ekitike seems to win the favor of the French capital today to join as a center forward to be an important replacement option in Galtier’s team. It should be remembered that PSG has only announced Vitinha as a new face, in addition to confirming the definitive signing of Nuno Mendes.
