French Ligue 1 top side Paris St-Germain female team has completed the signing of Manchester United midfielder Jackie Groenen on a three-year contract. The Netherlands international attracted interest this summer because her United contract was due to end in 2023.
Speaking about her move she said: ”The thing about moving on is that you can therefore look back – and when I look back, I feel only joy.” The 27-year-old also said: “I enjoyed every minute and I want to thank the players and the fans for making me feel so welcome and at home.” “I want to give a special thanks to all the fans who travelled all over the world to chant and support. You guys have been amazing.”
Division 1 Feminine side Paris St-Germain moved for Groenen, who has 92 caps for her country, with the close of the French transfer window looming on Tuesday, 20 September. The Euro 2017 winner is now with her lifelong friend and Netherlands team-mate Lieke Martens. They played together at the German side FCR 2001 Duisburg between 2012 and 2014.
