Women's PSG: Kheira Hamraoui is back and Diallo extends

After the defenders, place in the middle.

PSG strengthened this Thursday with the return of Kheira Hamraoui and the one-year extension of Aminata Diallo's contract which ended last month.

The latter was loaned last year to Royals Utah (United States), then to Atletico de Madrid for the past six months.

The 26-year-old international midfielder (7 capes, one goal), announced rather starting, therefore extends his lease with the club of the capital.

Trained at the Pôle France Féminin de football (ex-CNFE Clairefontaine), Kheira Hamraoui first joined PSG in 2012 where she played for 4 seasons before leaving for Lyon (2016-2018) then Barcelona (2018- 2021). Hamraoui notably won 3 Champions Leagues (2017, 2018 and 2021) before returning to Paris this summer with a 2-year contract. The 31-year-old international midfielder (36 selections, 3 goals) will bring their high-level experience. This is the 5th Parisian recruit of this transfer window.

PSG version 2021/2022 is starting to look good despite the losses during the offseason of 3 executive players - Paredes, Endler and Morroni - including the last two among rivals Lyon. The capital club have recruited two left-backs, internationals Sakina Karchaoui and Estelle Cascarino, and two central defenders, Swedish international Amanda Ilestedt (Bayern Munich) and tricolor Élisa de Almeida. The new coach Didier Ollé-Nicolle will have his first experience on the bench of a women's team. He is working alongside Ulrich Ramé, the new sports director, to further strengthen the workforce at the attacking level.
