[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is Macario's pay at Lyon?[/quote]

[quote] It’s also no secret around the NWSL that Lyon offered Macario far more money than she could make in the NWSL’s standard salary structure. And because Macario would have had been forced to enter the NWSL through its draft, she’d have had no say in where she ended up...
...But it’s impossible to miss the growing number of major Americans who call European clubs home: Christen Press and Tobin Heath at Manchester United, Sam Mewis and Rose Lavelle at Manchester City, and Alana Cook at Paris Saint-Germain. Mewis’ former North Carolina Courage teammate Abby Dahlkemper is also reportedly heading to Man City on a long-term deal.

Though the pandemic was a factor in the moves of the Manchester quarter, it wasn’t for Cook or Dahlkemper. The NWSL also took a hit when Australian star Sam Kerr left the Chicago Red Stars for a much bigger salary at Chelsea.

And Macario isn’t the only marquee college prospect to choose Europe over the NWSL in recent years. Deyna Castellanos chose Atletico Madrid so when she left Florida State early a year ago, and Khadija “Bunny” Shaw chose Bordeaux when she moved on from Tennessee in 2018.
Three leading Canadians have never set foot in the NWSL, despite the Canadian Soccer Association bankrolling the salaries of its top players in the league: Lyon’s Kadeisha Buchanan, Paris Saint Germain’s Ashley Lawrence, and Chelsea’s Jessie Fleming. Buchanan and Lawrence were college teammates at West Virginia, and Fleming played at UCLA.[/quote]
