LONDON CITY LIONESSES SMASH TRANSFER RECORD – France midfielder Grace Geyoro joins WSL club from PSG
London City Lionesses have signed French international Grace Geyoro from Paris Saint-Germain for a world-record fee, a deal that signals a major financial shift in women’s football.
The promoted Women’s Super League team paid a reported £1.4 million for the midfielder, shattering the previous record set just last month.
The transfer is the fourth time the women’s record has been broken this year alone, following significant moves for players like Naomi Girma and Olivia Smith.
The fee paid for Geyoro, who has 103 caps for France, eclipses the £1.1 million paid by Orlando Pride for Lizbeth Ovalle.
The move is a major statement of intent for London City, a team that is not tied to a men’s club and is backed by billionaire owner Michele Kang.
The Lionesses begin their first-ever WSL season this Saturday with a match against Champions League winners Arsenal.
