The 23-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and United have so far been unsuccessful in securing her services beyond the summer.
ARSENAL HAVE SUBMITTED a world record bid for Manchester United and England striker Alessia Russo, the PA news agency understands.
That number was later called into question when Barcelona women’s general manager Markel Zubizarreta told Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo the club paid under €350,000 Euros for the midfielder, without revealing the exact amount.Regardless, Russo looks set to command an eye-watering sum in the women’s game, where transfer figures are rarely disclosed, after drawing plenty of interest both domestically and overseas.
United currently lead the WSL, level on points with defending champions Chelsea, while Arsenal sit third with 25 but have a game in hand. A world record deal for Russo would mark another milestone in what has already been an historic transfer window in the WSL, with Bethany England reportedly commanding the highest-ever fee between two WSL clubs when she moved from Chelsea to Tottenham earlier this month.
