Paris Saint-Germain is currently in talks with current free agent Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting for a new contract deal, according to Telefoot‘s Saber Desfarges.
PSG is seriously giving consideration to signing Choupo-Moting and taking him off of the free agent market. The two sides are currently at a standstill regarding the duration of the possible deal. However, both sides are confident that they will soon come to terms on a new agreement.
At the moment, starting striker Mauro Icardi does not have a backup. Club legend Edinson Cavani departed from the team when his contract expired in June. Choupo-Moting was the third center forward on the side’s depth chart this past season, and as mentioned, he is currently without a contract.
PSG currently does not have many options available to fill its backup center forward vacancy. There have been no reports of the club engaging in serious talks with any other striker for a possible transfer deal. Thus, PSG has turned its attention back to re-signing the hero from the side’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinal fixture against Atalanta.
