Manchester City has officially announced the signing of Carlotta Wamser, a talented full-back from Bayer Leverkusen, on a four-year contract. The 22-year-old German international brings versatility to the squad, capable of playing both left-back and right-back positions.
Wamser's move to City follows her transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt to Leverkusen in July 2025, where she joined on a free transfer. This signing marks City’s third acquisition of the summer, adding to their roster alongside defender Niamh Charles from Chelsea and forward Beth Mead from Arsenal.
As the Women's Super League (WSL) champions gear up to defend their title, Wamser's arrival comes at a crucial time. The team is currently facing several injury concerns, with key players such as Niamh Charles, Grace Clinton, Vivianne Miedema, Jade Rose, and Laura Wienroither sidelined. Wamser's addition is expected to provide much-needed depth and support as City prepares to kick off their season at home against Birmingham City this Sunday.
With 14 international caps to her name, Wamser has a promising background, having progressed through the German youth system. Notably, she was part of the German Under-17 team that triumphed at the European Championship in 2019, showcasing her potential on a significant stage.
Upon her signing, Wamser expressed enthusiasm about joining Manchester City, stating, "I had a perfect welcome here and I already feel very good here. I look forward to my time here in Manchester. The English league is the best league in the world, and Manchester City is one of the best clubs in the world. I feel like I need the next step for my career, and I feel that I can develop as a player here. I like the challenge as well, so I think it’s the perfect step for me right now."
City's director of football, Therese Sjogran, shared her excitement about Wamser's signing, noting, "We are delighted to welcome Carlotta to the club. She is a player we’ve admired for some time and know she will bring energy, passion, and a willingness to learn to the team. For such a young, exciting talent to trust us with the next step of her career is something we feel conveys a strong message of what we are building here."
As Manchester City looks to maintain their status at the top of women's football, Wamser's addition is a strategic move that could enhance their chances in the upcoming WSL season.
