She has been one of the great figures of PSG this season and has largely contributed to the first French championship title for the club in the capital.
Christiane Endler, the 29-year-old Chilean international, formalized her departure from Paris on Wednesday, where she arrived four years ago.
She, who was named the best goalkeeper of the season and who married at the end of May in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, will join rival club Olympique Lyonnais.
In a post on an Instagram, she published a letter (in Spanish, French and English) in which she evoked the reasons for her departure which intervened, she said from the start, "after long months of deep reflections".
Believing that she has reached the end of a cycle, she emphasizes that the best way to end is to start with a championship title.
"This is the moment for me to look for a new sporting project, in which I can gain experience, improve myself and learn and where women's football is supported on an equal footing".
One last remark that says a lot about the problem of PSG today.

Yet they made results, they won the Coupe de France a few years ago, there the championship. The problem is that management takes a long time to make decisions on contracts, overtime, new coaches. Suddenly, since they play at PSG, they are necessarily asked to go and play in other clubs. "
Last season, Kadidiatou Diani, the best player of the season, also almost missed out on OL before being convinced at the last moment to stay with Leonardo. “It actually shows that you have to go to arm wrestling every time, to wait for another proposal for PSG to react, adds Le Garrec. Suddenly the girls are tired and disappointed. So they will look elsewhere. They go where you show interest in them and where you really want them. And it's human… ”
Before the title, faced with the departures of several players, Jessica Houara-d'Hommeaux, the consultant of Canal +, also expressed her disappointment: "If Lyon has succeeded for 14 years in dominating our championship, it is because , even if there was a change of coach, the number to one or two touches was not changed. Frankly all these departures it hurts my heart. I have the impression that we are going back ten years to my time when things changed every year. I said to myself:
finally real stability, finally we understood
. And in fact no… ”
