"Shaw is set to secure a third successive Women's Super League Golden Boot after scoring 19 goals in 21 appearances, with one league game remaining for newly crowned champions City. The 29-year-old, who joined City in 2021, is just one goal away from becoming the first player in WSL history to score 20 or more goals in three different seasons. It is the second time the Jamaica international has won the FWA award, having first done so for the 202324 season."
"Shaw looks set to leave City this summer after talks stalled over a new contract. Chelsea, who won six titles in a row before City's recent success, are favourites to sign Shaw, who previously had no desire to leave the club. But a breakdown in communications led to her exploring other options and Chelsea are understood to have offered at least one more year on a contract than City were willing to agree to."
"Reports suggest Chelsea are ready to pay Shaw up to 1m a year and while boss Sonia Bompastor gave no hint as to whether Shaw's future lying with the club, she admitted in a news conference on Thursday that signing a number nine is high on the Blues' priority list. Speaking on Friday, City manager Andree Jeglertz said: "I still hope she's signing a new contract with Manchester City, definitely, but that's more of a discussion for the player and for people at the club. "Right now, the most important thing is to enjoy our player, and she's here to compete with us, and do everything she can.""
"City face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals on Sunday (15:30 BST), with the winner playing either Liverpool or Brighton at Wembley on 31 May. Shaw's goalscoring exploits have made her one of the best strikers in the world and it is no surprise clubs are circling for her signature in the summer. With her contract expiring, she looks set to depart City after a breakdown in communications."

She joined City in 2021 and has won the FWA award twice, including the 2023-24 season. Talks over a new contract stalled, and she is expected to leave this summer. Chelsea are viewed as favourites, having offered at least one more year and up to £1m per year, while City manager Andree Jeglertz said he hopes she signs but that the priority is enjoying her contributions.
