Larsson and Jönsson negotiating and other WPS news
Sara Larsson, the Sweden and Linköping centre back, tells her home town newspaper that she is tempted by the offer from St. Louis in the American WPS league and will decide between that and an offer from her Swedish club Linköping "soon". She is already doing well in Sweden, making a living playing football, but it's the adventure playing in USA that draws.
She says that it is a problem that the summer transfer window next year hasn't been set yet. If it will be in August, it would be possible to move clubs after the USA season and join Linköping for the last months of the Swedish season, including the first UEFA Women's Cup matches for the club.
Nya Wermlandstidningen: Sara Larssons svåra val
Sweden's veteran goal keeper Caroline Jönsson, formerly LDB FC Malmö but now unattached, seems to be in fairly advanced negotiations with the Chicago club. At least if you should judge by the way her name has been mentioned lately, in passing but still, in a couple of articles about other players.
Los Angeles Sol has named Umeå's Johanna Frisk as a post-draft discovery player, which sort of supports the impression that they still are serious about signing Frisk's good friend Marta.
WPS: Transactions
USA head coach Pia Sundhage eliminates all doubts about about the start of the WPS next spring in an interview with Damfotboll.com. Her planning for the US national team is built around the April to August WPS season. She also comments on Marta's negotiations with Los Angeles and Umeå. "It's obvious that a player like Marta is attractive for every team", she says. She adds that Marta's compensation will not count toward the salary cap, that all WPS clubs must keep. Player representatives as well as the league has agreed to this. "It's probable that they will find a solution, but the league doesn't stand or fall with Marta", Sundhage finishes.
