European Giants Beat Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Current to Sign Promising Superstar on a 3-Year Deal

NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes is not only a quarterback for Kansas City but is also an owner of various franchises. Including the MLB franchise Kansas City Royals and the MLS club Kansas City. Most recently, the 27-year-old and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, invested in the NWSL’s KC Current. It has been a week since he became a co-owner, and he has already started doing his work.

The Chief’s quarterback is already looking to improve his side by making additions. However, the American side lost a battle for a key player from the European Giants for a player they were eyeing.

Patrick Mahomes loses Dumornay race

Kansas City Current lost the battle with French giants Olympique Lyonnais for Melchie Dumornay. The Haitian international penned a three-year deal, thus remaining with the French side until 2026.

“It has always been my dream to wear the Olympique Lyonnais shirt. I know that this club can allow me to progress and win trophies. I can’t wait to play here and to evolve in particular alongside Wendie Renard. She is a role model for many young players, and I hope to be like her one day,” said Dumornay.

Currently playing at Stade de Reims Féminines, the midfielder will join her new teammates in July. KC Current also wanted to sign the 19-year-old; however, it was Les Fenottes who won the battle.

The Currents were not the only club that admired Dumornay. According to reports, PL giants Chelsea and Manchester United were also keeping tabs on the young midfielder. She had a chance to try her luck in Barclay’s Women’s Super League but opted for a move to Division 1 Feminine.

An opportunity slipped from hands

Dumornay is a talented young midfielder and is excellent on the center half of the pitch. She previously played for AS Tigresses in Burkina Faso before joining Reims.

Since then, she has made 28 appearances, thus scoring 15 goals and assisting four in all competitions. The 2003-born player also got selected for her country at just 17 years old. The Haitian international has played in the U-15, U-17, and U-20 CONCACAF competitions and the 2018 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Besides this, Michelle has also won many individual accolades, including the CONCACAF Women’s U-17 Championship Golden Ball and the U-20 Golden Boot. She has been awarded the Best Young Player in 2020 and has made it into the Best XI twice.

It was unfortunate for Patrick that the opportunity to sign the player slipped from his hands. Nevertheless, both OL and Dumornay will be looking to have a great three years.
