Manchester City's attempts to sign PSG midfielder Jennifer Echegini have been repeatedly rejected. The 25-year-old Nigerian international is a crucial member of the Paris St-Germain team and sources at the club insist they intend to retain her, with a year left on her contract. Echegini transitioned to PSG after a successful spell at Juventus during her youth career in England.
Last year, she played a pivotal role in Nigeria's victory at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final, securing the team's 10th title. City are under a deadline of Thursday to finalize their new signings ahead of the Women’s Super League season commencing this weekend. Meanwhile, Vivianne Miedema, a member of PSG's midfield and attack, is set to miss the start of the season due to a knee injury.
It was reported earlier this week that Arsenal has struck a deal to sign France defender Elisa de Almeida from PSG. The transfer fee is estimated at around £550,000, and de Almeida is anticipated to join before today's transfer deadline.
