Thank you for the Lieke Martens recap!!! Funny how all the... questionable people end up playing for PSG 😅😬

yes, of course! and we are only talking about the women's section (don't get me started on the men's! 😅)

i mean between lieke martens, ramona bachmann, and now korbin albert, they have had their hands full. 🙈

but the worst situation for me was the kheira hamraoui/diallo scandal. i have a soft spot for kheira from her barça days and it was and continues to be a terrible mess.

PSG Le Parisien Article (September 20)

Disclaimer: Although this sounds like it could have been a pitch in the writer's room for Criminal: France, it (regrettably?) isn't. I don't have a subscription to Le Parisien so this isn't going to be something I will commit to translating on a regular basis.

Prepare to read a saga that has so many plot twists you will be looking to book an appointment to see a chiropractor by the end.

"I'm telling you Aminata, we have to go to war with them": the incredible plot of a gang trying to impose their rule at PSG

EXCLUSIVE. Footballer Aminita Diallo and the influential agent César M. are suspected of having tried by all means to destabilize the club's women section. The former because of ambition and personal hatred, the second to serve his own interests. Insight into how the accomplices worked in tandem.

It's a part of the Diallo-Hamraoui affair that was kept secret until now. While investigating the assault with metal poles suffered by victim Kheira Hamraoui on November 4, 2021, the police of PJ in Versailles discovered the role of César M., an individual close to Aminata Diallo, official agent of several players at PSG and partner [husband] of one of them. A man that Aminata Diallo was linked to, according to them [the police], through deep complicity.

A secret pact sealed around two objectives constitutes the basis of their relationship: do everything to [kick] out Kheira Hamraoui from PSG during the 2021-2022 season and at the same obtain a contract extension for Diallo from the Parisian club. For this double objective, they combined their strengths and resources, including at the highest level of PSG, to overthrow the structure of the women's section and push aside the directors standing in the way of their projects.

That's at least the conclusion of the lawyers and investigators came to after multiple correspondences [messages] and telephone calls intercepted in the months following the assault on Kheira Hamraoui. On March 29, the inquiry was designed by the boss as a "scam of organized gang members". A part of the affair which has yet to result in any [criminal] charges.

To understand the origins of this "affair within the affair", you have to go back to month of October 2021. During the weeks prior to the assault on Hamraoui, between October 2 and October 29, Diallo and César M. talk on 33 occasions according to their telephone records.

Nothing abnormal about that: they had known each other for several years, shared a common language and intertwined interests.

A little before the assault, they started using encrypted messaging systems

In the past, Aminata Diallo, player at PSG since 2016, might have even suggested to Marie-Antoinette Katoto, the star forward of the club, to have César M. handle her career. After the assault on Hamraoui on November 4, the pair [César M. and Diallo] stopped using traditional cellphone lines and seemed to choose to have conversations via encrypted messaging systems.

Police officers noted that their WhatsApp conversations came to a halt on October 24, the same date when the first anonymous phone calls started to several players at PSG aiming to tarnish Kheira Hamraoui. This change in habits is seen by investigators as "an obvious will to dissimilate."

Even stranger, a telephone link is detected between the line used by César M. and the one used by the "raven", identity used by the anonymous caller. With this context, the lawyers and police officers decided to place César M.'s phone under surveillance.

It is this way that they revealed the practices of this agent completely different from any other. One of this calls intercepted was on April 7 with Ulrich Ramé, former goalkeeper with Girondins de Bordeaux turned sporting director of the women's section at PSG. César M. puts forward with his interlocutor that the contract extension of Marie-Antoinette Katoto, star forward of PSG and France and whom he is the manager, would be linked on the one hand to the offer of a contract extension to Aminata Diallo and on the other hand to the ousting of Kheira Hamraoui. These poker moves are maybe a bit more classic in the back dealings of football.

But during this exchange, César M. does not hesitate to threaten a scandal which would tarnish the reputation of head coach Didier Ollé-Nicolle and by association, that of PSG. He was making reference to the inappropriate hand placements (notably hands on the ass) that the coach had committed towards one of the younger players, a minor. This affair was either handled internally or buried, from the outside, but César M. suggested to Ramé that it could become public at any moment. "Ollé-Nicolle ... It's a scandal! We cleaned it up ... We buried it ... But there are still people who are aware [of what happened] ... A lot of people, including me. Imagine if she goes crazy? Imagine if the father loses it? You see, it's perveted, it's unfair but it's also human..."

The goal? To obtain "good" contract extensions

As his exchanges with other Parisian directors evolved, police officers became aware of signs of intimidation with the goal of obtain inflated contract extensions for players who careers he managed. As for the police search of Aminata Diablo's apartment and car, it allows to measure the hatred still present towards Kheira Hamraoui.

April 21, three days before the Champions League semi-final between PSG and Olympique Lyonnais, César M. announces to his prodigy that her rival will be in the Parisian club's starting lineup. "That other bitch, she is going to start, it's fucking insane (...) She isn't at practices, she does fuck all at games ... Even at games!" Aminita Diallo seems outraged as well. "It's so bad (...) At a certain point, if they're allowed to act like it, it's because of the players, they're not doing anything, they aren't saying anything (...) these girls need to wake up (...) The problem, it's not Kheira, the problem is the coach and Ramé."

An orchestrated fight during training?

Two days later, seemingly in line with Aminata Diallo's wishes, a fight breaks out between Hamraoui and several of her teammates: first Sandy Baltimore followed by Kadidiatou Diani, César M.'s partner, and Marie-Antoinette Katoto. The news was broken the same day by independent journalist Romain M. [Molina], who also comes from Grenoble [Aminata Diallo's hometown], and regular correspondent of Aminata Diallo.

Several weeks later, the same journalist with 400,000 followers on Twitter is on the byline for new reveals, this time on the alleged sexual assault committed by Didier Ollé-Nicolle on one of his younger players. An event that César M. had talked about with Ulrich Ramé when he brought up could one day be leaked to the general public. It was hardly a thinly-veiled threat. This time, police officers were convinced it had been followed through. The subsequent media outrage seemed to delight the Diallo - César M. duo. Even more so because an inquiry was finally opened against X on sexual assault by an authority figure. The head coach was suspended and finally fired by the club.

Corinne Diacre, her too, found herself tangled up in this web

Emboldened by these events, the PSG player and her agent, according still to the wiretaps, imagined going after Corinne Diacre, the French National team coach who wronged them in their eyes by preferring Hamraoui, always and forever.

Aminata Diallo targeted her specially her hypocrisy in a heated exchange in which she knows the secret. "[There] the small men in suits make small talk!! Bunch of fucking assholes ... Bastards, they should go fuck themselves!!! And Corinne (Diacre), how are you doing Aminata? Fucking bitch! You think this is just a fucking game? You think we're a bunch of n****** [Le Parisien doesn't sensor this word, I am for a bunch of reasons but the primary one is I never believe that kind of language is appropriate]? That this is the ghetto? Corinne, don't worry this wasn't planned!! As soon as PSG offers the extension, she will see..." As for César, he responded "bunch of low class [white pejorative - not sure what the English equivalent is, maybe Republicans?]" that need to be "purged" from the club, which the police interpreted as "a racial claim [for war]". "I am telling Ami[nata], we have to go war with them!" he added, enraged.

The investigators aren't finished being surprised. To gain power and influence over the future of the women's section at PSG, the agent and the player seemed to cultivate a strange proximity with the MBappe family, to the point of "feeling untouchable," the investigators stated. "The César M. - Diallo duo used this support to oust from the women's section through any and all means Kheira Hamraoui but also Ulrich Ramé, sporting director and Didier Ollé-Nicolle, head coach of same," confirmed the report.

She had met Kylian Mbappe's mother for a documentary project

The origins of this closeness between Aminata Diallo and the MBappe family goes back to the weeks following the detention of the Parisien player, November 10. It's a former journalist from L'Equipe [French sporting newspaper], close to the MBappe family and originally from the Grenoble region like Diallo, who would have provided the introduction. Reached yesterday by Le Parisien, Fayza Lamari, mother of Kylian MBappe explains having met Aminata Diallo in the context of a documentary focused on the Hamraoui affair which an American production company wanted to develop with Zebra Valley, which Kylian [MBappe] owns.

"We had seen each other on three occasions," Fayza Lamari clarified. The first time in November in Paris during an evening presentation of a cartoon about Kylian's life, then in Dubai over Christmas break, and a third time at the Parc des Princes [men's stadium] for a Champions League game." Was Fayza Lamari, whom we know to be more and more influential when it comes to her son's football [career], perhaps so touched by this player['s story] that she wanted to keep her under her protection?

"I distanced myself from her"

An intercepted conversation between Aminata Diallo and the former journalist close to the MBappe family caught the investigators' attention. It made them think that the mother of the PSG forward could have pressured favorably the Board of Directors [at PSG] for Aminata Diallo's contract extension. A hypothesis deemed credible because during that same conversation, the player and former journalist seemed certain of a somewhat surprising contract extension for the star PSG forward [MBappe], a few weeks before it became official.

The World Cup winner's mother acknowledges today having "brought up the subject of Aminata Diallo's contract extension with the PSG Board of Directors, but in a very informal manner, uninterested and always in the context of the documentary project." And never, she clarified, during her trip to Qatar in April when she met the owners of the club. "There was never brought up during my trip to Doha last April where I was focused on my son's contract extension," insisted Kylian MBappe's mother.

Several weeks later, Zebra Valley withdraw from the documentary project. "When I learned that PSG did not wish to offer Aminata a new contract, for reasons probably linked to the Hamraoui affair, I distanced myself from her," underscored Fayza Lamari. The mother of Kylian MBappe was never brought in for questioning, not even by as a witness, by the investigators.

In January, César M. was brought in as a witness

When contacted, Jonas Haddad, César M.'s attorney, confirmed that his client "continues to have calm and productive relations with PSG" while clarifying that he "reserves the right to sue for defamation against whomever draws a link between his client and this sordid scandal. Concerning the accusations of sexual harassment of a staff member on PSG women's team, he expressed there were aspirations like there could be in any other environment." For the moment, César M. has not been questioned a single time by police officers in Versailles. He was brought in as a witness beginning of January.

As for Kheira Hamraoui, 32, under contract until June of next year with PSG but pushed aside from the group since the beginning of the season, she should rejoin the group "in the following days." Finally, Aminata Diallo, brought into custody for violent assault and conspiracy [to commit violent assault] and detained since Friday, will appear this Wednesday in front of a civil judge and her detention will be determined if it is permanent or not. When reached for comment, Moored Battikh, her attorney, declined to comment.

It sounds like Amandine Henry will is expected to make France's World Cup roster: https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Amandine-henry-devrait-etre-dans-la-liste-des-bleues-pour-la-coupe-du-monde-pas-kheira-hamraoui/1400930

Ugh (lol)

Good for her but was hoping to have her sooner.

Aminata Diallo to Levante. Idk what to say...Hasn't she attacked Hamraoui?

What a shitshow. The last police report very much sounded like she should be in prison but was excused for mental health issues and now she gets to continue being a professional footballer? Meanwhile I haven't even seen any of those vulture journalists write an apology or anything for ruining a year of kheira's life and probably a lot more

The world needs to apologise to Kheira Hamraoui. This woman was physically assaulted and then suffered hell in her life.

was kheira hamraoui the first foreign player to sign with barcelona?

nope, if you go back into barça's historical archives, i think it may have been maribel dominguez, a former mexico national team player, who signed for barça back in 2005. this was even before the team went fuly professional, and there may have even been ones before then.

but if we are talking big international signings after the team went professional, then don't forget:

jelena čanković (serbia/chelsea) played for barça in 2013.

line røddik (denmark/retired) played for barça 2016-2018, and andressa Alves (brazil/houston dash) played for barça 2016-2019.

élise bussaglia (france/dijon) played for barça 2017-2018, and toni duggan (england/everton) played for barça 2017-2019.

and finally, lieke martens (netherlands/psg) played for barça 2017-2022.
