Leila Ouahabi will leave Manchester City after the summer when her contract expires. The former defender, who joined the club in 2022, will play her final match in Sunday's FA Cup final. She has appeared in 15 games this season and helped the team win the WSL title together this.

Ouahabi said the decision felt right after a successful run. She reflected on the four years she spent in Manchester, describing the club as home. The defender praised teammates and coaches, saying she will remain a fan and keep an eye on City’s results for future season in 2025 next.

The timing of her exit arrives as City chase a domestic double. Brighton, their opponents, aim for their first trophy after a decade of near misses. Ouahabi’s departure leaves a gap on the left flank, a position the club will need to fill before the next season in 2025 ahead.

City’s manager will now focus on squad depth and transition plans. The club’s leadership hopes to maintain momentum after Ouahabi’s exit and secure silverware in the coming calendar. Fans will watch the final to see if the team can close the season with another triumph in 2025 and for fans.
