Villarreal has focused its attention on Arnaud Kalimuendo as a possible reinforcement for its attack, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The team coached by Marcelino García Toral aims to add firepower to its offensive line, with the French forward from Rennes emerging as one of the main choices to strengthen the squad before the market closes. Kalimuendo, 23 years old, has attracted interest from several European clubs after an outstanding season in Ligue 1.

The French attacker scored 18 goals and provided 4 assists in 34 matches during the last season, establishing himself as a decisive player in the opposing area. Although he can play on the wings, his best performance is seen when he plays as a center forward, a position Villarreal is looking to reinforce as a priority to aim higher in LaLiga and make a leap in the Champions League.

Villarreal is interested in Arnaud Kalimuendo

Marcelino has made it clear that he needs a '9' with presence, mobility, and finishing ability, and Kalimuendo's profile fits perfectly with what the Asturian coach demands. However, Brentford's interest in the Premier League complicates the deal, as the English club also aims to add the young striker to their project.

Despite the growing interest, Rennes has not yet set a specific figure to negotiate his departure. Kalimuendo is under contract until 2027, giving the French club room to decide the ideal timing and conditions for a potential sale.

With competition on the rise and the market clock ticking, Villarreal will need to act swiftly if they want to secure the services of one of the most promising attackers in French football. The coming weeks will be crucial to see how it unfolds.
