TRANSFER TALK: MANCHESTER CITY SIGN GERMANY INTERNATIONAL CARLOTTA WAMSER

Manchester City have completed their third signing of the summer transfer window, tying Germany international Carlotta Wamser from Bayer Leverkusen on a four year deal.

Wamser, who can play at right back or left back, joins an exciting City squad as they prepare to defend their Women's Super League (WSL) title this term after Beth Mead and Niamh Charles joined the Cityzens earlier this year.

Wamser's arrival could be a boost to the team's defence after a list of player injures including Charles, hampered City's domestic campaign and transfer window ambtions this year.

She started her career in her native Germany playing for Eintracht Frankurt before joining Leverkusen on a free transfer in 2025. She also came through the international youth system for the national team, winning the under 17s European Championship in 2019, and has earned 14 caps.

'I had a perfect welcome here and I already feel very good here and I look forward to my time here in Manchester, ' she said.

'The English league is the best league in the world and Manchester City is one of the best clubs in the world. I feel like I need the next step for my career and I feel that I can develop as a player here. And I like the challenge as well, so I think it's the perfect step for me right now.'

City director of football, Therese Sjogran, added: "We are delighted to welcome Carlotta to the club. 'She is a player we've admired for some time and know she will bring energy, passion and a willingness to learn to the team.

'For such a young, exciting talent to trust us with the next step of her career is something we feel conveys a strong message of what we are building here.'
