- Mary Earps prepares to leave Paris Saint-Germain for London City Lionesses
- The England goalkeeper will return to English football as a free agent
- Mapi Leon is ready to move from Barcelona to the London club
- Alexia Putellas remains undecided between the Lionesses and American clubs
Former England goalkeeper Mary Earps is on the verge of completing a move to London City Lionesses. The 33-year-old will end her two-year stay at Paris Saint-Germain and join the ambitious English side when her contract expires.
Earps is eager to come back to the Women’s Super League after playing in France since 2023. The shot-stopper became a free agent after choosing not to extend her deal with the Parisian club.
The Manchester United legend remains one of the most recognisable figures in English football. She played every match as the Lionesses won the European Championship in 2022. She also started throughout the 2023 World Cup campaign, where England reached the final. Despite her importance to the national team, she surprised fans by retiring from international duty just before Euro 2025.
London City Lionesses have pursued Earps for several weeks. Talks between the player and the club have reached an advanced stage, with officials hoping to confirm the transfer soon.
The club is also set to capture Barcelona defender Mapi Leon. The Spanish international has publicly confirmed she will leave the Catalan giants this summer. She is now ready to sign for the London outfit.
In addition, the Lionesses are attempting to lure Alexia Putellas away from Barcelona. However, the midfielder is considering proposals from the National Women’s Soccer League in the United States. She has not yet chosen her next destination.
These potential signings show the club’s determination to strengthen their squad significantly. Capturing players of this quality would mark a major step forward for the team.
Sky Sports News reporter Anton Toloui confirmed that negotiations have progressed well. He stated that the club hopes to make official announcements regarding Earps and Leon in the near future.
