In June 2020, Katarzyna Kiedrzynek left Paris with tears in her eyes. Three years later, here she is back with a broad smile. The 32-year-old Polish goalkeeper is back at PSG, a club with which she has committed for two seasons. The club of the capital will formalize this arrival in the coming days. This is the first rookie for the 2023-2024 season of the women's section, which has not won anything this season.
A return that will enchant the Collectif ultras Paris (CUP), with whom Katarzyna Kiedrzynek has forged a very strong relationship during her seven years at PSG between 2013 and 2020. "Thank you Kasia. Our house will always be open to you," wrote the Parisian ultras on two huge banners unfurled in Paris in June 2020, in a France that was just emerging from restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic. "I am in love for life with the supporters of Paris," said the Polish in our columns at the time of farewell.
Leaving to join Wolfsburg, with whom she won the German championship and three national cups, "Kasia" ends her adventure across the Rhine with a defeat in the final of the Champions League, which occurred Saturday against FC Barcelona (3-2). At PSG, she should occupy a role of understudy behind the French international Constance Picaud. The arrival of Katarzyna Kiedrzynek should push Czech Barbora Votikova towards the exit. In addition, PSG recently signed the first professional contract of Océane Toussaint, 19, goalkeeper from the training center.
The sporting direction of Angelo Castellazzi and Sabrina Delannoy are therefore advancing their pawns for next year. As we revealed on May 22, a battle plan has been put in place and another recruit is also completed in the person of Viola Calligaris at right-back. Finally, the priority of June concerns the contract extension of Kadidiatou Diani (it ends on June 30), ardently coveted by OL and Chelsea.
