Chloe Kelly: Man Utd make offer to Man City for England forward

Manchester United have made an offer to sign England forward Chloe Kelly from rivals Manchester City.

It is unclear whether United’s offer is just regarding a loan move, with reports suggesting they may be seeking a permanent deal.

Sources at Manchester City say they are open to allowing Kelly to leave but it is believed United have not been given any encouragement that a deal will be reached on transfer deadline day on Thursday.

In an Instagram message posted on Wednesday evening, Kelly said she wants “to be happy again” and did not see her future at City beyond the summer.

Her contract is due to expire in June but Kelly, who has made just one Women’s Super League start this season, is concerned about her place in the England squad with the 2025 European Championship taking place in July.

The 27-year-old scored the winning goal against Germany when England created history by winning their first major women’s tournament at Euro 2022.

Kelly added on Wednesday: “With the Euros fast approaching, this summer is a huge one and I want to be in a position to give it my best shot to represent my country.

“However, to be dictated whom I can and can’t join with only four months left of the football season is having a huge impact on not only my career by my mental wellbeing.

“The situation has been dragged on for too long, it’s disappointing and not right.”

Her only WSL start this season came against West Ham back in October.

United have until 23:00 GMT on Thursday to reach an agreement with City.
