BBC Journalist Reveals 19 Year Old Midfielder Has “Offers From Man Utd And Chelsea”

Manchester United and Chelsea Women have both tabled “offers” to sign Stade de Reims midfielder Melchie Dumornay on a pre-contract agreement, according to BBC reporter Emma Sanders.

The journalist says there is “heavy interest” in the 19-year-old, with Manchester City and Lyon also weighing up bids for the player:

Dumornay would join United at the end of the season when her contract expires if she does accept the offer from the Red Devils, but there is still a chance that she may accept a move to another team during the January transfer window.

Reims are said to be open to selling the Haiti international this month if they receive a good enough fee. That means the likes of City and Lyon may still be able to steal the player away from United.

Dumornay has a growing reputation after making her way through the youth ranks. The teenager was named Goal‘s NxGN Women’s Player for 2022 early last year and she also received the CONCACAF W Championship best young player award in November.
