Talks have stalled as Manchester United attempt to sign Germany forward Giovanna Hoffmann from RB Leipzig.
The clubs have been unable to reach agreement on a fee for the 26-year-old, meaning a move to the Women’s Super League is now looking unlikely.
Hoffmann has one year left on her contract at Leipzig.
The deadline for United to sign players in the summer transfer window is 23:00 BST on 4 September, a day before the new WSL season kicks off.
Hoffmann appeared in all five of her country’s matches at Euro 2025 and started in the quarter-final victory over France and the semi-final defeat by Spain.
She made her international debut last year and has scored three goals in 12 appearances for Germany.
United, who finished third in the WSL last season, have signed two Sweden internationals in the window – winger Fridolina Rolfo and midfielder Julia Zigiotti Olme.
It is a key transfer window for Marc Skinner’s side as they also take part in the Women’s Champions League this season.
