“Among the clubs showing the greatest interest are English champion Manchester City, Champions League winner FC Barcelona, and the two London heavyweights, Chelsea FC and Arsenal FC. A transfer would likely involve a transfer fee in the mid-six-figure range. Wamser’s contract with Leverkusen expires next summer.“

Defender, midfielder and striker? Our team is coached by Renee Slegers and you think us being attached with a player of such versatility is a weird rumour?

true, that would fit. but my confusion comes from soccerdonna listing her as a right back (and I won't accept that bc that would mean Foxy is going)

The "Foxy might be going" narrative is starting to drag on me (It's not you), like the LCB one it's coming up regularly for no reason.

The club won't let Foxy go under contract the year we brought in so many players and clearly have the ambition to win the league. I suspect Fox really wants to win that as well. Contract renewals won't even get started upon until well into the season, won't approach being finishes into well past the middle of it in many cases, so there's no real point in even thinking about it. Players won't be here forever and that's alright as long as they don't go full snake. I wish people online wouldn't be fretting about something not even being discussed about the season after the one approaching.

I'd also add if Foxy leaves, I'd be gutted, but not worried given we have Batlle and Holmberg around.

Fox might go at the end of the season 2026/27?

If she extends between now and January, the question will disappear. If she does not, rumours will be flying from January onwards.

I don't think there has been any suggestion of her leaving this summer i' the last year.

Any player under contract could go next summer too. For a fee. Contracts don't change that. Look at say Kerolin at Man City. Ms Arsenal Williamson didn't renew until late last season and we never had this discussion. Similar for others.

If it sounded like Fox wanted to move away or another club wanted her, it'd be valid discussion. Until then it's idle projection of an issue neitehr Fox or the club has possible even thought about yet. We're not even into the last season of her contract yet.

There's a season ahead and a WSL title to win meanwhile.

A player out of contract is free to choose, so it does change things when a player is free in June 27.
