Record-shattering Women's World Soccer Transfer Sets New High for Third Time in Two Months, courtesy of an extravagant WSL transaction
London City Lionesses Make History with Record-Breaking Signing
The women's football scene in England is abuzz with excitement as the London City Lionesses have made a splash in the transfer market ahead of the new WSL season. The club has broken the women's transfer record by acquiring French international midfielder Grace Geyoro from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of £1.43 million.
Geyoro, a 28-year-old star player, has been one of the most admired figures in the women's game for over a decade. She spent more than a decade playing professionally for PSG before making her move to London. With over 100 appearances for France, Geyoro brings a wealth of international experience to the Lionesses.
Jocelyn Precheur, the head coach of the Lionesses, has been busy making statement signings for the club's first season in the top tier. Alongside Geyoro, Nikita Parris, Danielle van de Donk, and Jana Fernandez are among the new recruits at the club. Kosovare Asllani was already on the roster.
Manchester United manager Marc Skinner addressed the Geyoro deal, stating that the window and the market have shifted significantly. He warned that the pressure would be on the promoted club to deliver.
The Guardian reports that London City have denied paying a world record fee for Geyoro, a claim that was also made regarding the transfer of USA international Lizbeth Ovalle to Orlando Pride from Tigres for a fee of $1.5m.
The Lionesses will play their home games at Bromley's Hayes Lane ground. Their first match of the season will be a challenging one, as they face European champions Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. This game will be televised live on the BBC, providing fans with an exciting start to the new WSL campaign.
Michele Kang, the president of Lyon and the majority owner of their celebrated women's team, is also the majority owner of Washington Spirit of the NWSL. With such influential figures involved, expectations are high for the London City Lionesses in their inaugural season in the top flight.
