Parris spent a total of four years at Manchester City before her summer switch to the French side, first on loan from Everton and then on a permanent move – scoring 30 goals in 37 WSL games over the last two seasons.
The 25-year-old England forward explained to The Guardian this week: “They are irresistible because they’re the best. Everyone wants to win the Champions League and they consistently win. They’ve won it four times in a row, and six times in total. That’s massive.
“I just want to be at the best place possible to ensure that I really kick on in my career, that I constantly have challenges, because in football you don’t have long. It’s easy to become complacent when game time comes so easily and you’re doing so well.”
