PSG reject Man City offers for midfielder Echegini
Paris St-Germain reject several Manchester City offers for their Nigerian midfielder Jennifer Echegini.
Paris St-Germain have turned down multiple bids from Manchester City for midfielder Jennifer Echegini. The 25-year-old is a crucial member of the French club and the club is not willing to sell her, as her contract has a year left. Echegini, a Nigerian international, joined PSG two years ago after her youth career in England. She played a pivotal role in Nigeria's 10th title win in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations last year by scoring the decisive goal.
Manchester City have until the transfer deadline on Thursday to make any signings before the start of the Women's Super League season on this weekend. Vivianne Miedema, another PSG player, will be sidelined due to a knee injury and will miss the beginning of the season. Before going to London to finalize her transfer, PSG will face Eintracht Frankfurt in a qualifying round of the Women's Champions League on Wednesday.
Arsenal has reportedly reached an agreement with PSG to sign France defender Elisa de Almeida, with a fee estimated at around £550,000. She is expected to join the London club before the transfer deadline on Thursday and is ready to play in PSG's match against Frankfurt before her move to England.
