Paris Saint-Germain is on the verge of completing a historic transfer, with Congolese striker Merveille Kanjinga set to join from TP Mazembe’s women’s team.
The 21-year-old forward, who starred in the CAF Women’s Champions League, is reportedly finalizing negotiations with the Parisian club, with an official announcement expected soon.
A Star in the Making
Kanjinga captured global attention during the African Women’s Champions League, where she scored three goals and played a pivotal role in TP Mazembe’s triumph over AS FAR in the final.
Her exceptional performances earned her the tournament’s Best Player award, further solidifying her reputation as one of Africa’s brightest young talents.
Her move to PSG marks a significant milestone for Congolese women’s football, as she becomes one of the few players to transition from the African domestic leagues to a European football powerhouse.
PSG’s Bid to Revitalize Their Season
The PSG women’s team has faced challenges this season, including an early exit from the UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage.
Despite currently sitting second in France’s Ligue 1 Féminine, the club’s management has been vocal about the need for reinforcements to bolster their campaign in the second half of the season.
Sporting director Angelo Castellazzi and his assistant, Sabrina Delannoy, have been closely monitoring talents from the CAF Women’s Champions League, with Kanjinga emerging as their top choice.
The Congolese striker is seen as a key addition to strengthen PSG’s attacking options, providing the creativity and clinical edge they have lacked in recent matches.
Advanced Negotiations Underway
Negotiations between TP Mazembe and PSG have reportedly progressed swiftly, with both clubs eager to finalize the deal.
Kanjinga is currently in Paris, where discussions are being wrapped up to pave the way for her historic move.
For TP Mazembe, this transfer not only showcases the quality of their academy but also highlights the growing prominence of African women’s football on the global stage.
A Bright Future Ahead
Kanjinga’s imminent signing by PSG is a testament to her talent and determination.
Her arrival in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues will not only elevate her career but also inspire a new generation of African players aspiring to break barriers and achieve success on the international stage.
As the football world awaits official confirmation, Kanjinga’s journey from TP Mazembe to PSG is already being celebrated as a landmark moment for African women’s football.
