Unlike previous years, Paris Saint-Germain does not intend to remain passive in the face of attempts by Olympique Lyonnais to poach its players. While OL are on the verge of recruiting the PSG striker who did not wish to sign permanently in Paris after her loan, the Parisian club has decided to fight back. This time, PSG shows a clear desire to strike hard by targeting two key players of the French champion. A first since the recruitment of Sakina Karchaoui in 2021!
PSG derails an extension at OL!
According to daily information The Parisian, PSG would have succeeded in defeating the contract extension of central defender Griedge Mbock, whose contract is expiring. This renowned French recruit would bring his experience to a hinge which should however find Paulina Dudek. This strategic move marks a turning point for PSG, highlighting proactive and determined management.
The second player targeted by PSG is striker Delphine Cascarino, whom the club had already considered in the past. The new coach, Fabrice Abriel, would be ready to contact her personally to try to convince her to join his ambitious project.
This approach by PSG takes place in a context where the club has often been perceived as vulnerable in the face of departures to OL. Letting Chawinga leave for Lyon without reacting would have been a negative signal about the management of the club. On the other hand, the initiative to sign Earps and target Lyon talent shows a renewed determination to strengthen the team and seriously compete with OL on all fronts.
PSG Women’s counter-attacking in the transfer market is sending a clear message that the club is determined not to let itself be weakened by its competitors any longer. With ambitious recruitment strategies and proactive approaches, PSG is looking to establish itself as a bastion of women’s football in France and Europe. This new era of management could well mark the beginning of a period of success and stability for PSG Women.
