Khadija Shaw to Leave Man City! New WSL Title-Winners Dealt Huge Blow
Speculation Surrounding Shaw's Future
Manchester City star Khadija Shaw is set to leave the club this summer at the end of her contract, according to a report which emerged just hours after her side claimed a first Women's Super League title in 10 years.
Shaw's Goals Key to City's Triumph
Shaw's goals were a key factor in that triumph but speculation about her future has rumbled on throughout the season and now she looks set to depart, with domestic rivals Chelsea heavily linked with a move.
- Chelsea are favourites for Shaw's signature
- Shaw's contract with Man City is set to expire
Previous Reports on Shaw's Future
In March, the Times reported that Chelsea were offering the striker more money than City, as her contract neared its end. A day later, the Guardian reported that Shaw was actually 'close' to agreeing a new deal, with the club confident that the situation would be resolved and that their star forward would be staying put.
Shaw will leave City this summer after talks concluded with her 'opting to pursue a new challenge'.
Impact on Man City
The news will come as a huge blow to Man City who have just won their first WSL title in 10 years.
