Despite being linked with numerous attacking options throughout the window, the club has yet to secure any new offensive reinforcements. With just a few days remaining before the market closes, PSG may not add further to their attacking lineup.

The departure of Kylian Mbappe and the recent injury to Goncalo Ramos sparked a flurry of speculation regarding potential replacements for the Parisian club. Names like Nico Williams, Rafael Leao, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Jadon Sancho, and more recently Victor Osimhen have all been associated with PSG.

PSG's transfer woes, no new attackers before deadline

However, as the transfer deadline approaches on August 30th, it seems increasingly unlikely that PSG will sign an attacking player before the window shuts.

Loic Tanzi, a journalist for L’Equipe, has stated on social media that there are no plans for PSG to bring in an attacker. The club’s focus seems to be shifting towards offloading players like Manuel Ugarte, Carlos Soler, and Milan Skriniar, and potentially finding a replacement for the Slovakian defender, Tomas Araujo.

One name that has been buzzing in recent weeks is Kingsley Coman. The French winger, who has spent the past nine years with Bayern Munich, was a candidate for a potential move to PSG. However, it now seems that Coman is likely heading elsewhere.

Reports from L’Equipe and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano suggest that Al Hilal, a Saudi Arabian club, has made an offer to Bayern Munich for Coman, which is expected to be accepted. Additionally, interest from Premier League clubs and FC Barcelona has also been noted.

In summary, as the transfer window nears its end, PSG’s anticipated offensive reinforcements may not materialize, with other clubs positioning themselves to capture the high-profile talents that were once linked to the Parisian giants.
