Grace Geyoro has agreed to join London City Lionesses from Paris Saint-Germain in a world record deal worth £1.43m ($1.65m).
The paperwork was completed before Thursday’s 11pm deadline and the France midfielder’s move is expected to be confirmed later.
The fee is a new world record, but it could be narrowly beaten if Chelsea pay all of the bonuses as part of the Alyssa Thompson deal from Angel City.
Thompson’s fee of around £1m could rise with bonuses and add-ons to just below £1.5m, according to reports from the US.
Geyoro’s deal reflects the fact PSG didn’t want to sell her, but the 28-year-old was open to a move to the WSL this summer.
