THE BIGGER PICTURE

AND WHAT'S MORE
The report says that, of that trio, Club America is leading the race. The Eagles are two-time champions in Liga MX Femenil, winning the Clausura as recently as 2023. It is expected that "negotiations will progress", with the WSL now in danger of losing one of their major assets.
