Competition for Alex Morgan as San Diego Wave close in on signing France star Delphine Cascarino on free transfer

Division 1

Lyon

Saint-Etienne

<p>The 27-year-old has spent her entire career at Lyon but on Tuesday, the French team announced her departure and <a href="https://x.com/OLfeminin/status/1815803163288690723" target="_blank">tweeted</a>: "Merci pour tout Delphine (Thank you for everything Delphine)." Now, CBS Sports state the winger, who can also play as a forward, will join the National Women's Soccer League team San Diego Wave on a two-and-a-half-year deal.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sources stateside have confirmed to <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CBSSports</a> that France international Delphine Cascarino will join San Diego Wave FC. Cascarino will arrive after the Olympics on a 2.5-year contract with an option for 2027 pending  P-1 visa and international transfer certificate.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NWSL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NWSL</a></p>— Sandra💙💯⚽️ (@Sandherrera_) <a href="https://twitter.com/Sandherrera_/status/1815786777375895627?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 23, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Cascarino is set to represent France at the Olympics but after that, she could move to the defending NWSL champions. While they won the league last season, this term they are 23 points off leaders Orlando Pride and sit 10th in the table. Signing the Frenchwoman could be a much-needed boost, but could also potentially provide competition for veteran USWNT legend Morgan.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Cascarino has won 64 caps for her country and scored 14 goals since making her debut since 2016. During her time at Lyon she won nine Division 1 Feminine titles, six Coupe de France trophies, two Trophee des Championnes and six Champions Leagues.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While Morgan's San Diego side take on Club America in the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup on July 26, Cascarino and France begin their Olympics campaign against Colombia on Thursday night. They also have New Zealand and reigning gold medallists Canada in their group.</p>
