Roma are eyeing a summer move for Rennes striker Arnaud Kalimuendo, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The club’s new sporting director, Florent Ghisolfi, is eager to ensure that transfer targets are identified and secured promptly.
La Gazzetta outline how Ghisolfi’s top priority is to bring in a centre-forward who can deliver a similar output to Romelu Lukaku. Kalimuendo, who previously worked with Ghisolfi during his loan spells at Lens, has emerged as a prime candidate.
Rennes are seeking €20 million for the 22-year-old striker, who has attracted interest from multiple clubs across Europe. In January, Kalimuendo was offered to Eintracht Frankfurt, but the move did not materialize. Now, he stands out as a key target for Roma.
The Giallorossi are set to hold an important meeting regarding transfers later today, where Kalimuendo’s potential acquisition will be a significant topic of discussion.
