"London City Lionesses have signed Grace Geyoro from Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record deal reportedly worth £1.4m (€1.6m). The fee beats the previous record of £1.1m ($1.5m) paid for Lizbeth Ovalle by Orlando Pride to Tigres last month. It also betters the £1m fee Arsenal spent to sign Olivia Smith from Liverpool, which had set the record back in July. Geyoro is London City's 16th signing of a busy transfer window, with the Women's Super League newcomers bolstering their squad."
"The 28-year-old joined PSG in 2012 at the age of 15, going through the ranks at the academy before making her senior debut in 2014. She made 270 appearances for PSG in all competitions, scoring 53 goals, with 40 of those coming in the Premiere Ligue, and helped the club to the league title in 2020-21. Geyoro also won three Coupe de France titles, and finished as a runner-up in the Women's Champions League twice, in 2014-15 and 2016-17."
"Last season, Geyoro netted six league goals in 19 starts, scoring with a quarter of her overall shots (24). She also had the joint-most assists among PSG players (four). The France international has made 103 appearances for her country, scoring 22 goals, including two at Euro 2025. Geyoro was not London City's only deadline day signing, following Barcelona's Jana Fernandez into the club."
Grace Geyoro has transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to London City Lionesses for a reported £1.4m (€1.6m), setting a new world-record fee for a women's transfer. The amount surpasses recent record fees including £1.1m for Lizbeth Ovalle and £1m for Olivia Smith. Geyoro, 28, joined PSG's academy in 2012, made her senior debut in 2014 and recorded 270 appearances with 53 goals, winning the 2020-21 league title and three Coupe de France trophies. She scored six league goals last season, provided four assists, and has 103 caps and 22 goals for France. Her debut for London City may come after the club's opening WSL fixture.
