PARISIAN INFO. The transfer window of the women's section has accelerated in recent hours. Jackie Groenen, Manchester United and Pay player


PSG are still waiting for reinforcements in the midfield.

After the arrival of Oriane Jean-François from Paris FC, the capital club is working to complete the recruitment of Jackie Groenen.

Discussions have been underway for several weeks with the Manchester United midfielder, a Dutch international (90 caps).

Paris believes in its chances but the difficulty comes from the type of operation, a transfer, still quite rare in the world of women's football.

The profile of Jackie Groenen, 27, is targeted by the sports management of Angelo Castellazzi and the technical staff of Gérard Prêcheur as an ideal lead for the midfielder, who lost this summer Aminata Diallo, Léa Khelifi, Sara Däbritz and Luana, all out of contract.

In addition, the situation of Kheira Hamraoui, removed from the group, is still not resolved.

For the time being, the new Parisian coach can therefore only count on the experience of Grace Geyoro and the youth of Oriane Jean-François or the U20 internationals Laurina Fazer or Magnaba Folquet in this sector of play.

Jackie Groenen has a great CV

Former judoka, Jackie Groenen has a fine CV: spent by Chelsea (2014-2015), the native of Poppel (Belgium) evolved in Frankfurt (2015-2019) before joining Manchester United since.

European champion with the Netherlands in 2017, she started this summer at Euro 2022, where she was eliminated in the quarter-finals by the France team (1-0, ap).

She was in Toulouse last week during a friendly tournament bringing together… Manchester United and PSG.

Jackie Groenen's contract with the Red Devils ended last June but the club have activated an option for an additional season.

PSG will therefore have to pay a transfer fee to offer his services.

Groenen's case is not the only current one on the Parisian side, which is still looking to strengthen in attack after the injury of star Marie-Antoinette Katoto for several months, affected in the right knee (meniscus and cruciate ligament).

According to our information, a recruit should be formalized in the coming hours: the Icelandic Berglind Björg Thorvaldsdottir, 30 years old, 66 selections, passed by Le Havre in 2020-2021.

In addition, another attacker was in the pipeline but will not ultimately commit to PSG after the failure of the medical examination.

This week, the women's section continues its summer preparation during an internship in Catalonia before joining Paris this Thursday.

This Sunday evening, she faces Olympique Lyonnais in Dunkirk for the Champions Trophy, the first official match of the season.
