Paris prosecutor opens investigation into Hamraoui's harassment claims against PSG
Hamraoui lodged the complaint in May, when French media reported that the midfielder claimed she had been subjected to a campaign of insults, threats, denigration and cyber-harassment by several teammates. She now plays in Saudi Arabia for Al-Shabab.
She was attacked in November 2021 following an evening out with her former PSG teammate Aminata Diallo and other teammates. Hamraoui was hit several times with a metal bar and needed stitches for cuts on her hands and legs. There's a judicial case ongoing regarding the attack.
Hamraoui, who has made 41 appearances for France, also accuses PSG of having sidelined her during her convalescence to encourage her to leave the club.
A PSG spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Other former PSG players also are at odds with the club.
Kylian Mbappé 's legal team says PSG owes the star 55 million euros ($61 million) in unpaid wages. It also accused PSG of harassment because of the way he was treated amid a transfer standoff. Adrien Rabiot also claims he was treated badly in the final months of his contract.

Agent Confirms Inter Milan Target & Italy Superstar Falls Out With PSG: 'Appalled, We Are Considering Legal Action'
Gianluigi Donnarumma is on the verge of cutting ties with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) after falling out of favor at the Parc des Princes. Speaking to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, his agent, Enzo Raiola, confirmed an unexpected breakdown in relations with the club. Despite his indispensable status in Paris, Gianluigi Donnarumma has suddenly become an unpopular figure. Indeed, head coach Luis Henrique has omitted him from the squad for tonight's UEFA Super Cup. PSG will take on Tottenham Hotspur without the 26-year-old, who has entered the final year of his contract. Despite ongoing discussions, the parties could go separate ways as early as this summer. Les Parisiens have offered the former AC Milan goalkeeper a new deal worth around €8 million net per season. However, Donnarumma's current wages stand at €11.5 million, which explains the disagreements. Meanwhile, Inter Milan and Manchester City are keeping close tabs on the situation, looking to seize a potential opportunity. Gianluigi Donnarumma Agent Confirms Ongoing Conflict with PSG FLORENCE, ITALY – OCTOBER 08: Gianluigi Donnarumma of Italy looks on prior to the Italy training session at Centro Tecnico Federale di Coverciano on October 08, 2024 in Florence, Italy. (Photo by) 'From Gigio's words, it's clear that he's very disappointed,' Raiola said. 'I am astonished: four years of respect and great results, and in just ten days, an entire castle has truly collapsed. 'They risk erasing everything he has achieved with PSG. 'The situation dragged on: PSG made requests different from the standard contract. 'Gigio even accepted reduced conditions; he was happy to be here, and the results came. 'When we decided to move forward, the terms suddenly changed, and we stopped everything. 'In Los Angeles, they confirmed everything to me, and I told them that Gigio had another year left and preferred not to do anything else. 'What happened in the last few days is unexpected, a huge lack of respect. 'The coach works for the club; we'll see, with our lawyers, what position they've taken.'

Donnarumma – from Champions League hero to PSG exit in three months? Plus: EPL hope-o-meter
The Athletic FC ⚽ is The Athletic's daily football (or soccer, if you prefer) newsletter. Sign up to receive it directly to your inbox. Hello! In May, he won the Champions League. Now, he's an outcast. That escalated quickly. On the way: Yesterday's TAFC included a passing mention of Gianluigi Donnarumma and his waning Paris Saint-Germain contract, which expires next year. 'I wonder if he'll move on in the next few weeks,' I wrote. To which the answer now has to be 'Yes'. No sooner had The Athletic reported that Donnarumma was set on leaving PSG — now, or at the end of his deal — than head coach Luis Enrique excluded the goalkeeper from tonight's UEFA Super Cup game against Tottenham Hotspur in Italy. It's a dramatic escalation and from here, there's almost certainly no way back. Advertisement Football moves fast and nothing is forever, but still, the speed of Donnarumma's fall from grace at PSG is astonishing. We're talking about one of the world's top 'keepers (not infallible, but bloody good) who won the Champions League a mere two and a half months ago. As recently as July 13, he started against Chelsea in the Club World Cup final. He's 26, so in his prime, and it didn't feel like a position where Luis Enrique had problems. But last week, PSG signed Lucas Chevalier, a 23-year-old Frenchman, from fellow Ligue 1 side Lille. The fee was reported to be around £35m ($47m). Combined with Donnarumma's contractual position, the lights are turning out on the Italian. PSG say they offered Donnarumma improved terms, which he rejected. Donnarumma's camp say the club moved the goalposts in contract negotiations. Unless we're missing something, the time for reconciliation is past. At a press conference yesterday, Luis Enrique said: 'These are always difficult decisions to make. I can definitely talk about Gigio because he's one of the best players in his position, without a doubt. We're looking for a goalkeeping profile different from Donnarumma.' But what does that mean, and are the current champions of France and Europe making a mistake? Why could he leave? The Athletic's goalkeeping expert, Matt Pyzdrowski, has made some sense of Luis Enrique's comments. He starts by pointing out Donnarumma's obvious strengths: exceptional shot-stopping (demonstrated endlessly in the Champions League knockout phase, with one phenomenal save against Arsenal shown above), a huge reach, and a gift for pre-empting penalties. When in form, he has clutch credentials. But Matt has also noticed that with Donnarumma in goal, PSG are more inclined to go longer from deep than they would like. Donnarumma isn't a weak passer as such, but to Matt's trained eye, and those of others, there are players who cope better on the ball under pressure and, therefore, would suit Luis Enrique's possession-based style more. That's where Chevalier comes in. Advertisement Matt describes Chevalier as 'a true 11th outfield player' and we might well get a look at his footwork in this evening's Super Cup match, the annual pre-season meeting between the winners of the UEFA Champions League and second-tier Europa League in the previous campaign. He ought to brace himself for intense scrutiny because he's filling big shoes… and an extraordinarily big wingspan. Donnarumma said he was 'disappointed and disheartened' that 'someone has decided I can no longer be part of the group'. He'll have elite clubs all over him now, of course. What should be pointed out in the interests of balance is that last season, when PSG won a treble of trophies, Luis Enrique's judgement was vindicated ad infinitum. He's paid to make the big calls — and this goes down as his biggest yet.

In the Netherlands yesterday, Ronnie Stam — a former Premier League defender who also won the Dutch title with FC Twente in 2010 — was sentenced to seven years in prison for international drug smuggling and money laundering offences. If you've been following TAFC, it might feel as if stories like this are on repeat. A little over a year ago, Netherlands international Quincy Promes received a six-year jail term for his involvement in smuggling 1,350kg of cocaine into Europe. He's appealing his conviction. In June, ex-Arsenal forward Jay Emmanuel-Thomas went down for one year and seven months for cannabis importation to the UK. And only last month, we brought you an interview with Jamie Cassidy, the one-time Liverpool youth prospect who, to his cost, got heavily mixed up in the narcotics trade. Evidently, life in professional football is no barrier to criminality of this nature. Advertisement The Athletic was in court for Stam's sentencing, though the 41-year-old was not: he refused to appear, having complained about the hour-long drive from his remand facility. Stam was cleared of two of the more serious charges against him and said he had been 'stupid', but you'll want to read about a man described by the prosecution as 'not only a big footballer, but a big player in the drugs world'. Another yearly highlight at The Athletic: our Premier League hope-o-meter. It's a pre-season gauge of supporter optimism and pessimism levels. And often very funny. For example, a woeful 19 per cent of Newcastle United fans polled are enthused about the year in front of them. Four-fifths of them think they are going backwards, which tallies with their shambles of a summer transfer window. Talk about bursting your own bubble. Burnley's punters, on the other hand, are poking us in the eye. We're calling rock bottom for the promoted boys from Turf Moor this season. Some 64 per cent of the club's following think we're bang wrong. And it has to be said, we've been bang wrong before. There's something similar in the water at Chelsea because, unlike 12 months ago, they think they're in business, big time. And Manchester United's transfer business — Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko — has 86 per cent of their audience purring before a ball has been kicked. You don't need me to tell you what it is that kills. It's customary to roll your eyes when football clubs talk about green credentials because some of their initiatives look like lip service. But fair play to Udinese, the Italian hosts of tonight's Super Cup tie. Their Bluenergy Stadium has been designed to tick some serious sustainability boxes and built with 2,409 solar panels. When fully plugged into the grid, it should make the place entirely self-sufficient in energy terms and plough electricity back into the local community. A possible blueprint for clubs elsewhere?

Stade Brestos: Stade Rennais overtakes Nice for Mahdi Camara
The Franco-Gambian is now set to join Stade Rennais. Mahdi Camara / Stade Brestos Mahdi Camara had been heavily linked with OGC Nice. Everything seemed in place for the move, but Stade Rennais has swooped in at the last minute and is now on the verge of securing the Brest midfielder. The 27-year-old Franco-Gambian midfielder, under contract with Brest until 2027, was just a step away from joining Nice. Franck Haise, the Aiglons' coach, made no secret of his admiration for the player and saw him as a key addition to his midfield. However, a dramatic twist has changed the landscape: Rennes, impressed by Camara's versatility and influence, has offered him a four-year deal. The player was reportedly swayed by the words of Rennes coach Habib Beye, who promised him a central role in the club's sporting project. Despite Nice's early advantage, Brest's asking price of 8 million euros proved too steep for the Niçois, according to several sources. Rennes seized the opportunity, quickly reaching a salary agreement with Mahdi Camara and now negotiating with Brest over the transfer fee, which is also expected to be around €8 million. Both parties are expected to finalize a four-year contract very soon. Camara is set to arrive in Rennes shortly for his medical and to sign his contract.
