Manchester United have accepted a bid from Manchester City for England midfielder Grace Clinton, with the 22-year-old entering the final year of her contract.
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.
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.
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,"
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.
