Berlin, Aug 12 (Ians) Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier expressed his intention to sign a new forward before the close of the transfer window.
The Ligue 1 champions have signed Hugo Ekitike from Reims but saw Angel Di Maria depart on a free transfer, while Galtier confirmed Arnaud Kalimuendo is closing in on a move to Rennes.
Psg may still have Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi to lead the line, but a long and gruelling season – which is complicated by the World Cup in Qatar – has Galtier wanting to increase the depth in his attack, reports Dpa.
“Yes, we would like to bring in another forward. We have a very busy schedule, so we would like to bring someone in,” he told a news conference ahead of Saturday’s Ligue 1 clash against Montpellier.
“The club is working hard on that. I am in constant contact with Luis Campos (Psg football advisor), the board and the president.

Berlin, Aug 12 (Ians) Paris Saint-Germain striker Arnaud Kalimuendo has joined Rennes, penning a five-year deal with the Ligue 1 side.
Kalimuendo, a France Under-21 international who signed his first professional contract with Psg as a 17-year-old in 2019, had been strongly linked with Premier League side Leeds United after they missed out on Belgian forward Charles De Ketelaere to Milan.
The pacey forward has spent each of the last two seasons on loan at Lens, scoring 12 league goals in the 2021-22 campaign as they recorded an impressive seventh-placed finish, reports Dpa.
Only nine players, including Psg stars Kylian Mbappe (28) and Neymar (13), outscored Kalimuendo last term, earning the 20-year-old a big-money move to Europa League qualifiers Rennes.
Psg boss Christophe Galtier had confirmed Kalimuendo’s move was imminent earlier on Thursday, while Mauro Icardi is also expected to leave the Parc des Princes to make room for another attacking recruit.
