Manchester United have agreed to a surprise transfer bid from local rivals Manchester City for rising star Grace Clinton, as the England international enters the final 12 months of her contract.
Contract Dilemma Forces United's Hand
The 22-year-old midfielder, who helped England secure Euro 2025 glory this summer, was at risk of leaving on a free transfer next year. United opted to cash in rather than repeat previous high-profile departures like Alessia Russo and Mary Earps, who left without transfer fees.
Potential Swap Deal Emerges
In a parallel development, United are negotiating a permanent move for City's Jess Park - another Euro 2025 winner - as they seek to strengthen their squad before Thursday's transfer deadline. Both deals could be finalized simultaneously, creating a rare direct swap between the Manchester rivals.
"Of course. If that happens or if anything else happens, I'm sure that we will have an announcement,"
WSL Season Approaches
The transfer drama unfolds as City prepare to open their Women's Super League campaign against champions Chelsea on Friday, live on Sky Sports. Both Clinton and Park are considered among the league's most promising talents, making their potential swap a major storyline for the new season.
