Juventus have reignited their interest in Arnaud Kalimuendo, the 22-year-old French striker currently playing for Rennes. The Bianconeri are eyeing Kalimuendo as a potential replacement for Arek Milik, should the Polish forward be sold in the final days of the transfer window.
Calciomercato report that Kalimuendo who recently participated in the Paris Olympics with the French national team, is valued at approximately €20 million. Thiago Motta, Juventus’ manager, is well-acquainted with Kalimuendo, having coached him in PSG’s youth academy.
Kalimuendo is a product of Paris Saint-Germain’s youth system. He made his first-team debut for PSG but gained significant experience during loan spells at RC Lens, where he scored 21 goals in 65 appearances.
Known for his technical skills, speed, and finishing ability, Kalimuendo has represented France at various youth levels. His consistent growth and promising potential have made him one of the most interesting young strikers in French and international football.
In the 2023-24 season with Rennes, Kalimuendo made 41 appearances across all competitions, accumulating 2,774 minutes of playing time. During this period, he demonstrated his offensive prowess by scoring 15 goals and providing 5 assists.
Juventus’ interest in Kalimuendo reflects their strategy of targeting young, talented players with high potential. If the transfer materializes, it could provide Juventus with a versatile attacking option and offer Kalimuendo an opportunity to further develop his skills in Serie A under the guidance of Thiago Motta, a coach familiar with his capabilities.
