Mary Earps’ PSG Exit Could Reshape the WSL — Where She Lands Next Matters

In a bombshell development that has the women’s football world buzzing, Mary Earps is officially leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer — and according to insiders, her next destination could completely reshape the landscape of the Women’s Super League.

The 33-year-old England legend confirmed her departure from the French powerhouse after two seasons, with her contract set to expire on June 30. But the real drama, sources claim, is where the veteran shot-stopper will land next.

London Calling? The Big-Money Destination

Whispers around the league have intensified in recent days, with multiple reports suggesting Earps is on the verge of a blockbuster return to the WSL — and the club reportedly leading the chase is none other than London City Lionesses. Backed by American billionaire Michele Kang, the ambitious side has deep pockets and a hunger to challenge the league’s elite.

“This is a statement move if it happens,” one league insider told us on condition of anonymity. “London City Lionesses made noise last season finishing sixth in their debut WSL campaign, but adding a player of Earps’ caliber? That sends a message to the entire league. They’re not just here to compete — they’re here to take over.”

Earps Reflects: ‘A Crazy, Great Experience’

In an emotional video posted on PSG’s social media channels, Earps opened up about her time in Paris, sounding every bit the player who knows her next chapter could be the most important of her career.

“A crazy, great experience,” she said, her voice tinged with nostalgia. “I’d say great because I’m leaving with such fond memories. I’ve met great people, I’ve trained at a world class facility, I’ve played at Parc des Princes.”

She continued, “And experience because I think it’s added to my growth as a player and as a person. I think that’s all you can ask for in life is to grow and to be a little bit better every day.”

Earps’ video — which has since gone viral among fans — also highlighted her first trip to Africa for the League Cup final, calling it one of many “firsts” during her stint abroad.

What This Means for the WSL Power Balance

If Earps does indeed suit up for London City Lionesses, it would immediately raise the stakes for established powerhouses like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City. The Lionesses, who already boast deep financial backing, would suddenly field one of the most decorated goalkeepers in the game — a player who was instrumental in England’s 2022 European Championship triumph and their run to the 2023 World Cup final.

“Mary doesn’t just stop shots — she changes the mentality of a whole club,” a former England teammate, who asked not to be named, told us. “Her presence in the locker room alone is worth its weight in gold. If she goes to London City, teams better be ready for a team that believes it belongs at the top.”

The Numbers Behind the Drama

Earps joined PSG from Manchester United in the summer of 2024, racking up 57 appearances across two seasons and helping the Parisians secure a third-place finish in the Premiere Ligue last term. Before that, she spent five years at United, where she was part of the squad that claimed the club’s first major trophy — the Women’s FA Cup.

On the international stage, Earps earned 53 caps for the Lionesses before retiring ahead of last summer’s European Championship defense — a move that shocked many but, according to those close to her, was driven by a desire to focus on club football and new challenges.

What’s Next? Insiders Say Deal ‘Could Be Announced Within Days’

With Earps now a free agent, the scramble to secure her signature is reportedly heating up. While London City Lionesses appear to be the frontrunners, sources warn that nothing is signed yet — and a last-minute twist can never be ruled out.

“This is the kind of signing that defines a transfer window,” one WSL club executive told us. “Everyone is watching. If London City pulls this off, it changes the narrative of the entire league.”

For now, Earps leaves Paris with her “heart full” — but if the rumblings are true, her heart may already be set on a very different kind of homecoming.
