In a world record transfer of £1.43 million ($1.65 million), Grace Geyoro leaves Paris Saint-Germain to join the London City Lionesses; assuming Chelsea pays all of the bonuses associated with the Angel City Alyssa Thompson agreement, the fee might be barely surpassed.
Grace Geyoro has agreed to a world-record £1.43 million ($1.65 million) contract to join the London City Lionesses from Paris Saint-Germain.
The paperwork was finished ahead of Thursday's 11 p.m. deadline, and confirmation of the France midfielder's transfer is anticipated later.
Although the sum is a new global record, it might be barely surpassed if Chelsea pays all of the bonuses in exchange for Angel City's Alyssa Thompson.
According to US media, Thompson's fee of almost £1 million might increase to a little over £1.5 million with bonuses and add-ons.
Although PSG didn't want to trade Geyoro, the 28-year-old was amenable to a summer transfer to the WSL, as evidenced by her contract.
Since graduating from the Premiere Club's academy, she has played 250 games and scored 50 goals over her career.
Geyoro has won the top tier once, placed second in the Women's Champions League twice, and captured three French Cups.
Along with starting three of France's four games at Euro 2025 and scoring twice as they advanced to the quarterfinals, Geyoro has also collected 103 caps for his country.
This summer, London City, a newcomer to the Women's Super League, signed a number of well-known players, including 74-cap England forward Nikita Parris, former Manchester United captain Katie Zelem, Danielle van de Donk from Lyon, and Jana Fernandez from Barcelona.
