Manchester United identify Bayern Munich's Mala Grohs as replacement for departing Mary Earps – Man United News And Transfer News

1

Manchester United have reportedly identified their preferred replacement for women's team goalkeeper Mary Earps, who is expected to leave the club imminently.

Earps' contract with United is set to expire in a few days.

The Red Devils were engaged in negotiations with the England international over a new deal, but no agreement was ever reached. A few weeks ago, Earps insisted she would only stay at Old Trafford if the club matched her ambitions.

Last summer, United turned down a record bid from Arsenal for Earps and it appears they are now set to lose her for free.

A recent report covered by The Peoples Person revealed that she is closing in on a blockbuster move to French side Paris Saint-Germain.

It was claimed that PSG made a lucrative offer for the 31-year-old but her decision to join the Parisians was ultimately not motivated by money. She wants to compete for the greatest honors and compete in the biggest competitions like the Champions League.

United will of course not be playing Champions League football as they finished in fifth place in the Women's Super League, 20 points behind leaders Chelsea.

According to reliable Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, United are already contemplating life without Earps and have found a replacement for her.

Plettenberg wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Bayern's Maria Luisa Grohs is a candidate for Manchester United Women. »

“Grohs is ready to leave FC Bayern to achieve her personal goal of joining a top club in the FA Women's Super League.”

“Grohs could replace Mary Earps who is about to join Paris Saint-Germain!
