Manchester United goalkeeper Mary Earps looks set to leave the club as a free agent once her deal at the club comes to an end next week.
The 2023 Sports Personality of the Year has been at Manchester United since they earned promotion to the Women’s Super League in 2019, making the move from German side Wolfsburg.
Earps is out of contract at United this summer, however, and BBC Sport now report that despite discussing the possibility of staying on at the club, she is now understood to have decided to make the switch to PSG instead.

Earps has become a household name after establishing herself a near-permanent fixture between the sticks for club and country over the past few years.
The keeper particularly won plaudits for her excellent performances at last year’s World Cup, where she won the golden gloves after keeping three clean sheets and conceding just four goals to help England reach the final.
The 31 year old saved a Jennifer Hermoso penalty midway through the second half of that final against Spain, but England were nonetheless able to find a response to Olga Carmona’s first-half strike.

PSG finished second in the French Division 1 last season, 11 points shy of champions Lyon. They were also eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League by their domestic arch-rivals, who went on to lose to Barcelona in the final.
The Parisiennes did taste cup success, however, beating Fleury 1-0 in the final to claim this year’s Coupe de France.
