First big problem for PSG

The absence of Gonçalo Ramos, seriously injured, will probably force PSG to recruit a center forward. There is not much time left.

PSG have found their starting centre forward at the start of the season:
Randal Kolo Muani
. A choice by default since the French striker benefits, in a way, from the absence of Gonçalo Ramos. The Portuguese international should be out for three months after an ankle injury contracted on Friday evening during the Le Havre-PSG match (1-4, 1st day of Ligue 1) which he started as a starter.

The blow suffered by the former Benfica player will probably force PSG’s management to recruit a replacement for Kolo Muani. Or to look for an international-level number 9, as was reported by the media since the beginning of the summer transfer window. Victor Osimhen (Naples) was the name regularly mentioned.

Osimhen too expensive?

The trail leading to the Nigerian had been cooled by the 130 million requested by Napoli to let their best striker leave. Will PSG relaunch the Osimhen file? If so, we do not suppose it at this price. How far can the French champions go to find a striker capable of shining in the Champions League?

So far, PSG has spent around 170 million euros in this transfer window, compared to 16.5 million, the result of Hugo Ekitiké’s definitive transfer to Frankfurt. Coach Luis Enrique and sports advisor Luis Campos have less than 15 days before the end of the transfer window.
