London City Lionesses Pursue France’s Grace Geyoro in Blockbuster Transfer Bid
September 4, 2025
London City Lionesses are in talks with Paris Saint-Germain to sign French international Grace Geyoro. The Lionesses are looking to complete a major transfer before the Women’s Super League deadline. Geyoro, with over 100 caps for France, has spent her entire career at PSG. The 28-year-old is a key player and one of Europe’s most exciting midfielders. Geyoro is reportedly pushing for the move and is not training with PSG. London City, backed by Michele Kang, has already signed Nikita Parris, Danielle van de Donk, and Katie Zelem.
In a stunning move that could reshape the landscape of the Women's Super League (WSL), London City Lionesses are locked in intense negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to secure the services of French international midfielder Grace Geyoro. As the transfer deadline looms, the Lionesses are pulling out all the stops to bring the dynamic playmaker to their squad.
Geyoro, a stalwart for both PSG and the French national team, has spent her entire professional career with the Parisian club, rising through their youth ranks to become a linchpin in their midfield. With over 100 caps for France, the 28-year-old brings a wealth of experience and undeniable talent to the table. Her vision, tenacity, and ability to dictate the tempo of a match have made her one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe.

Her Champions League experience is another attractive quality, and she also started three of France's four matches at Euro 2025, scoring twice as they reached the quarter-finals.
Sources close to the negotiations suggest that Geyoro is eager to make the move to London City, seeking a fresh challenge and the opportunity to play in the increasingly competitive WSL. Reportedly, she is not currently training with PSG as discussions between the clubs progress.
London City Lionesses, making their debut in the WSL this season, are determined to make a statement of intent. The club, backed by American businesswoman Michele Kang, is demonstrating its ambition by pursuing top-tier talent. As the first team without any affiliation with a men's club to play in the WSL, they have already made headlines this summer.
Adding Geyoro to a squad that already includes the likes of England forward Nikita Parris, Netherlands midfielder Danielle van de Donk, and former Manchester United captain Katie Zelem would represent a major coup for the Lionesses. It would also send a clear message to the rest of the league that they are not just there to compete but to challenge for the title.
The financial details of the potential transfer remain undisclosed, but it is widely anticipated that London City would have to pay a significant fee to prise Geyoro away from PSG, where she is under contract. However, with the transfer window closing soon, time is of the essence, and both clubs are working diligently to reach an agreement that satisfies all parties involved.
Should the transfer materialize, it would not only be a game-changer for London City Lionesses but also a testament to the growing allure of the WSL as a destination for world-class talent. As the clock ticks down to the deadline, all eyes are on London and Paris to see if this ambitious transfer can be completed.
