PSG reject Man City offers for midfielder Echegini

What the report says

Manchester City have had multiple bids turned down by Paris St-Germain for Nigerian midfielder Jennifer Echegini, according to BBC Sport Football. PSG regard the 25-year-old as an important part of their squad and, with a year left on her contract, are not believed to want to sell before the transfer deadline.

Echegini joined PSG two years ago after a spell at Juventus and spent much of her youth career in England. The article notes her recent impact on the international stage as well: she scored the decisive goal in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations final last year, helping Nigeria secure a record 10th title.

The timing matters because City have until Thursday’s deadline to complete signings before the Women’s Super League season begins this weekend. BBC Sport also reported that City are managing a midfield shortage after Vivianne Miedema was ruled out at the start of the campaign with a knee injury.

More broadly, the situation reflects an active late-window market around PSG, who are also preparing for a Women’s Champions League qualifying match against Eintracht Frankfurt. BBC Sport separately reported this week that Arsenal have agreed terms to sign PSG defender Elisa de Almeida, underlining that the French club may face more transfer activity before the deadline.
