Grace Geyoro hasn’t left yet. Currently with the France team which faces Estonia this Friday, as part of the qualifiers for the 2023 World Cup, the 25-year-old midfielder is attracting interest from Chelsea and has even expressed her desire to elsewhere at his direction. But for now, the door remains closed. While the transfer market closes on Thursday September 8 in England, Paris still does not want to hear of a departure from the French international (56 caps) and has let the London club know.
In an interview with the newspaper L’Équipe, Grace Geyoro, under contract until 2024, confirmed her desire to join Chelsea. “I expressed my wish to live something else, she stated on August 30th. I had a few meetings with the management, I explained to them the why and how of my desire to leave. I really have this desire to open a new chapter in my life. Today, I have one foot in Paris and one foot in Chelsea. I’ve been at Paris Saint-Germain for ten years now, I’ve experienced a lot of things, and now I have an opportunity. I’m about to leave, now we’ll see how things will evolve, how the two clubs will manage to get along. »
In mid-August, PSG had refused a record offer in women’s football (500,000 euros) for its now ex-captain. It is still a little early to announce with certainty that she will stay, but the clock is ticking and the astronomical offer which could capsize the discussions has not yet arrived on the desks of the Parisian leaders who are working, in parallel, on possible arrivals by the end of the transfer window, September 20 in France.
Hurtré and Le Guilly leave on loan
Revealed exclusively by Le Parisien – Today in France on August 23, the track leading to Jackie Groenen is still relevant. But negotiations for the Dutch international midfielder from Manchester United are considered difficult in Paris, which could not anticipate its transfer window with the late appointments of Angelo Castellazzi and Sabrina Delannoy as sporting director and assistant sporting director.
Sarah Bouhaddi, Olympique Lyonnais goalkeeper, is a possibility. His case has been studied for several weeks, but it is internally divided. Some executives wonder about the benefits of this recruitment despite his international experience (149 selections, 35 years). Gérard Prêcheur knows her very well for having trained her in Lyon. In the meantime, the Parisian coach is already seeing the arrival of another player who passed through one of his former clubs, namely the Chinese international defender Li Mengwen (27), whose loan from Jiangsu was formalized during the day.
In the direction of departures, PSG is preparing to complete the loans of two young players who participated in the recent U20 World Cup with the France team. According to our information, Océane Hurtré, 18, will join Dijon. Jade Le Guilly, a 20-year-old defender, is preparing to sign for Real Sociedad, second in the last Spanish championship.
