LOS ANGELES, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 30th july,2016) - Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery said Saturday that the French champions could sign Real Madrid forward Jese Rodriguez before the end of the transfer window. The 23-year-old would provide support in attack to Edinson Cavani for PSG, who saw talismanic striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic leave at the end of the past season before joining Manchester United. "It's a possibility, as are other opportunities in the transfer window," Emery said during PSG's tour of the US.

"I know Jese well, the club knows Jese well, he is a good player." Jese scored five league goals for Real last season, but struggled to force his way past Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo to get into the starting line-up. PSG play Premier League champions Leicester City on Saturday in California in their final International Champions Cup friendly, before opening the domestic season in a week's time against Lyon in the French Champions' Trophy.
