It’s not just for the boys that the transfer window is hectic at the moment at PSG. In terms of departures and arrivals, the women’s section is also working to put together its group for next season. After Ashley Lawrence, Kheira Hamraoui and Barbora Votikova, a fourth player will leave pending further announcements. In a press release published this Friday on its official website, the capital club confirms that Swedish central defender Amanda Ilestedt, 30, will no longer be Parisian. Arrived two years earlier from Bayern Munich, she will have played 23 games with PSG over the last year.
Paris did not wait for this announcement to move forward with the recruitment of her replacement. The directors are keen to land a top defender so they can rotate Elisa De Almeida and Paulina Dudek, who has missed most of the season with a serious knee injury. According to our information, the priority is called Aïssatou Tounkara. The 28-year-old French international (35 caps, 3 goals) plays for Manchester United where she signed a two-year contract last year after several years of experience at Atlético Madrid. At the time, PSG had already inquired about his case but did not go further on this track.
The idea has germinated in the minds of Parisian decision-makers to return to the charge in recent weeks. Concrete discussions have been initiated between the different parties to try to reach an agreement with the former Paris FC player (from 2010 to 2018). Originally from the capital, Aïssatou Tounkara keeps a strong attachment to her homeland. After participating in the last Euro, she has just been called up by Hervé Renard to take part in the World Cup organized in Australia and New Zealand (July 20 – August 20).
