US women’s national team veteran Crystal Dunn has signed with Paris Saint-Germain through the 2027 season.
The move comes less than a week after Dunn parted ways with Gotham in the US National Women’s Soccer League.
“I’m so happy to be able to start this new adventure. My family supports me and comes with me, so it was important for me to find a club that has confidence in me as a player, but that also accepts that I come with my family. I have a connection with France and I already feel at home,” she said in a statement released by PSG on Friday.
