INFO RMC Sport – At the end of the contract with PSG next June, Marie-Antoinette Katoto still does not know where she will evolve next season. A new meeting took place on Thursday, as competition intensifies.
This is the hot topic of the moment. So much so that he caused a furore in the French team. At the end of the contract in June, Marie-Antoinette Katoto still does not know which jersey she will wear next season. His departure this week over his “total disagreement” with Paris Saint-Germain has revived the dossier, whose speculation, greed and negotiations have intensified in recent days.
Update on what’s holding back the negotiations between PSG and the top scorer in its history.
Another meeting took place on Thursday
This weekend, a final meeting took place between Ulrich Ramé and the entourage of number 9. Particularly in response to the latter’s statements. Through the voice of the general manager of the women’s department, the capital club reiterated its absolute desire to extend Marie-Antoinette Katoto. With a desire to speed things up quickly.
If the trend is still a departure from “MAK”, then Paris will continue to take precedence in the negotiations. The Katoto clan is now waiting for the return of its counter-proposal to the club. A document accompanied in particular by grievances and “solid assurances” about the Paris sports project. The attacker and her entourage want to build over time in Paris to prevent the exodus of players, as Paris knew last summer (Paredes, Endler, Morroni…) whether they are executives or young people in the making. Focus on young players with high potential.
Of course, in the grievances there is refusal to play with Kheira Hamraoui next season. And made an effort about the future of Aminata Diallo at the end of the contract in June next year. There is no doubt that there will be new meetings in the coming weeks once the club is back.
An offer from Lyon and Barcelona on the table
As negotiations continue, competition is getting fiercer. Olympique Lyonnais and FC Barcelona have made offers to the striker’s representative. Recently, exchanges have intensified, especially with Olympique Lyonnais. The English candidates appear to have fallen off the wagon, unable to compete financially. A source close to the case says that “only a few European clubs can afford Katoto”.
Though qualified for the Coupe de France final but now relegated to five points behind Lyon in the league with title hopes all but nil, PSG’s future in the Champions League may well be tied to Katoto’s. With an acceleration of decision-making the day after the semi-final.
Meanwhile, she will be on the field next Friday for the 2023 World Cup qualifier between Wales and France (8:45 p.m.). It remains to be seen whether the Paris striker will be disturbed by the situation surrounding her future.
