An important page is about to be turned within the women’s section of Paris Saint-Germain. At the club for almost 6 years, Ashley Lawrence has chosen not to renew the adventure to give new impetus to her career and focus on another challenge. According to our information, the Canadian Olympic champion (113 caps, 8 goals) informed her management that she would not extend her contract at the end of the year. He is a strong, experienced personality, appreciated by the Parisian locker room and its executives, who is about to set sail for another championship. Because it is not in France, but in England that the 27-year-old player could evolve next season. Chelsea, leader of the English championship, would like to attract the player from PSG, also sought by Barcelona, Bayern Munich and San Diego.
Since arriving in Paris in January 2017, Ashley Lawrence has played 165 games in all competitions (11 goals). Over the seasons, she has never ceased to be an essential element regardless of the coach in place, even if her relationship with current coach Gérard Prêcheur is not idyllic and this may have influenced her decision.
Ashley Lawrence, born in Toronto (Canada), was on the field under the orders of Patrice Lair for the Champions League final lost on penalties against Lyon, in June 2017. A year later, she won the Coupe de France (won a second time in 2022). But the apotheosis, it was really in 2021 that she knew it with the team of Olivier Echouafni crowned champion of France. That season, she formed a supersonic right lane with Kadidiatou Diani. Surely the best ever seen at the club. The two players will take diametrically opposed paths at the end of the season. Unless Chelsea, on pole for Lawrence, decides to accelerate in parallel on the recruitment of the Frenchwoman, at the end of the contract, and who figures in a very good place among her targets for next summer.
In search of a replacement for Ashley Lawrence, PSG through its sporting director Angelo Castellazzi has already made concrete progress on several tracks. No name has filtered yet.
