Katarzyna Kiedrzynek restored as PSG number one as Toussaint and Peda vie for place | OneFootball

PSG have overhauled their goalkeeping this summer, with Mary Earps departing, Katarzyna Kiedrzynek restored as number one, Océane Toussaint and Oliwia Peda competing, and a new specialist coach installed before Wednesday's play-off against Frankfurt at 18:30. According to L'Équipe, it has been a turbulent close-season.

Kiedrzynek, 35, impressed in Wednesday's 1-1 first leg in Frankfurt, producing two late saves. She regains the starting role eight years on, having spent three years at Wolfsburg before returning to Paris and extending her deal in January 2025.

Earps, 33-year-old England international, struggled last season and left at the end of her contract to join London City Lionesses. Her exit has opened the door for Kiedrzynek.

Paulo César says there is no fixed number two or three. Between Toussaint, 22, contracted to 2028 and now a Haiti international, and Peda, 25, voted best keeper in Poland after loans at Birmingham and Czarni Sosnowiec, one will be on the bench and the other in the stands. The hierarchy will be reviewed in December, a winter loan for one is likely, the cups will be their platform, and Kiedrzynek's place is not guaranteed.

Sébastien Moncé replaces Mickaël Grondin as goalkeeper coach, Grondin joining Guingamp's men. Moncé arrives from Le Mans. He must keep Kiedrzynek sharp while developing competition, with 2027-2028 in mind when she enters her final year and could start a club role, mentoring 18-year-old Camille Masson after signing her first professional deal following a Champions League call-up against Real Madrid last season.
