After the announced arrival of Marco Asensio, Paris Saint-Germain hopes to complete its offensive sector with a very high level striker. But the targets mentioned in recent weeks seem difficult to reach for adviser Luis Campos, who could fall back on Marcus Thuram.
The Paris Saint-Germain transfer window is racing. While Lucas Hernandez is trying to convince Bayern Munich to let him go to the French capital, the Ile-de-France club is also working to strengthen its attacking sector. Real Madrid have just confirmed the departure at the end of the contract of Marco Asensio. And except rebound, the Spanish winger should engage with the champion of France. Then will come the time to focus on the arrival of a very high level attacker. This center-forward capable of occupying the axis and freeing Kylian Mbappé.

In recent weeks, the names of Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen and Randal Kolo Muani have fueled rumors around Paris Saint-Germain. But these three files promise to be particularly complex for Luis Campos. It would not be surprising to see the sports adviser fall back on an easier target, like Marcus Thuram. Indeed, Spanish outlet Relevo describe Paris Saint-Germain as the Frenchman’s main courtier. Atlético Madrid and several Italian teams are also interested in the striker at the end of the contract at Borussia Mönchengladbach. But the resident of the Parc des Princes shows more determination in the exchanges.
The three unattainable priorities
It must be said that the former Guingampais, in addition to his contractual situation, has the advantage of knowing Kylian Mbappé well thanks to their cohabitation in the France team. It remains to be seen whether Marcus Thuram would have the shoulders to lead the Paris Saint-Germain attack. In any case, our colleagues add that Randal Kolo Muani is closer to Bayern Munich, while the Englishman Harry Kane prefers to stay in England. As for Victor Osimhen, the gluttony of Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis could represent an insurmountable obstacle.
