Elisa De Almeida is set to change clubs. The 28-year-old France international defender will leave PSG and join Arsenal, according to L’Équipe. The move had already been flagged by Le Parisien.
With 52 caps for France, De Almeida was also involved in PSG’s latest Champions League moment. The article notes that, after the return leg of the third preliminary round—which PSG won against Frankfurt in the return (5-1 after extra time, following a 1-1 draw in the first leg)—she started the match. After securing qualification for the league phase, her teammates celebrated her, and she exchanged a few words with ultras who attended in large numbers.
PSG’s emotional goodbye
As quoted in the piece, De Almeida told the fans: «Je ne vous oublierai jamais».
Arsenal get a proven starter
With the transfer now confirmed by L’Équipe, Arsenal add an experienced international centre-back with Champions League appearances in recent weeks. For PSG, the immediate focus is how to reshape the back line after losing a regular starter.
