showing Dahlkvist was one of the higher earners at SEK 39 000 per month. Former club Umeå were not interested in re-signing Dahlkvist, claiming they already had better players than her. Dahlkvist told the Expressen newspaper that salary was of secondary importance and she was prepared to take a pay cut in order to join the right team. In July 2014 she agreed to join Norwegian Toppserien club Avaldsnes IL, who also made an unsuccessful attempt to sign her former Tyresö teammate Marta. After the ending of the 2014 season Dahlkvist chose to leave Avaldsnes IL, returning to Sweden's Damallsvenskan and KIF Örebro, the club that she played for at the beginning of her senior career. After just half a season back at Örebro, Dahlkvist moved on again, joining compatriots Caroline Seger and Kosovare Asllani at Paris Saint-Germain Féminine of the French Division 1 Féminine.
