PSG set to sign Olga Carmona following Real Madrid exit
Spain World Cup-winner Olga Carmona is set to join Paris Saint-Germain following her exit from Real Madrid. Madrid announced on Tuesday that Carmona, the club captain, had decided to leave ahead of the expiration of her contract this summer. Advertisement The 24-year-old defender joined the club from Sevilla in 2020, shortly after the formation of Madrid's women's team. She has made 186 appearances for Madrid, scoring 29 goals, making her the women's side's all-time top appearance maker. 'Real Madrid wishes to express its gratitude and affection for everything she has contributed to our club and for always representing the values of Real Madrid,' a club statement read. 'She will remain in the hearts of Real Madrid fans as one of the most emblematic figures in our history.' The move will see Carmona play domestic football outside of Spain's Liga F for the first time in her career. The left-back has been capped 51 times at senior level by Spain and scored the only goal in the 2023 World Cup final victory over England. Advertisement Madrid reached the Champions League quarter-finals for just the second time this season but exited the competition to Arsenal. They also recorded their maiden victory over Barcelona, who have dominated Spanish women's football for the past six years, in March, but finished eight points behind them in Liga F. PSG failed to qualify for the Champions League group stages this season, having previously been a regular feature in the latter stages of the competition in recent years. They have finished runners up to Lyon in the Primiere Ligue in each of the last four seasons and won the top flight for the only time in their history in 2020-21.
