Khadija “Bunny” Shaw is set to leave Manchester City when her contract expires in June, with multiple reports suggesting Chelsea are the favourites to sign her. The Jamaica striker, 29, has been in talks with City about a new deal, but negotiations over key contract details—reported to include the length of any extension—did not reach agreement. The Guardian reports that Shaw had been close to agreeing an extension earlier in March and had indicated she wanted to stay, but the final terms became stumbling blocks, leading City to prepare for life without their star player. The Jamaica Observer similarly reports that City cannot match the terms being offered elsewhere, and notes that Shaw has been on track to win the Women’s Super League Golden Boot for a third consecutive season. Both outlets also link her potential move to reported interest from top clubs abroad, including Barcelona and teams in the National Women’s Soccer League. As she approaches an anticipated departure, Shaw is scheduled to face Chelsea in an FA Cup semi-final, with the following week’s match against West Ham described as a potential final appearance for City.

Khadija “Bunny” Shaw is set to leave Manchester City Women when her contract expires in June, with reports suggesting a £1 million offer from Chelsea FC Women is the leading option for the prolific striker. Shaw, Manchester City's all-time top scorer, is reportedly preparing to move on after contract extension talks with the club failed to produce an agreement. The news comes shortly after City secured their first Women's Super League title in a decade. According to The Guardian, the Reggae Girl, who currently leads the league in scoring and is on course to claim a third straight Golden Boot award, had hoped to remain at Manchester City. However, the report stated that both sides were unable to agree on key contract details, including the proposed length of a new deal. The report added that while both the club and Shaw, a fan favourite at City, were disappointed by the outcome, Manchester City could not match the terms being offered elsewhere. The latest reports follow claims that Chelsea is prepared to offer the Jamaican £1 million per year. Shaw has also reportedly attracted interest from several top clubs around the world, including Barcelona and multiple other teams in the National Women's Soccer League.
