Manchester City Women's summer exodus has continued with the exit of influential midfielder Caroline Weir.
City recovered from a nightmare start in 2021/22 to win the League Cup, qualify for the Champions League, and reach an FA Cup final, but have since seen a number of important players leave in the last fortnight. Already, goalkeeper Karen Bardsley has retired, and England legend Jill Scott hasn't had her contract extended.
Club record scorer Georgia Stanway has opted to join Bayern Munich, and now her midfield partner Weir has also left the Academy Stadium. Weir joined from Liverpool in 2018, making 124 appearances and scoring 38 goals, including three stunning goals in derbies against Manchester United — all three winning City's Goal of the Season competition and two earning prestigious nominations for the FIFA Puskas Award. She also scored in this season's Continental Cup final win over Chelsea.
